Video Memoirs
Video memoirs preserve the stories, voices, photographs, and home movies that make up a life. A finished film can bring family memories together in one place to be shared now and passed on to future generations.
Jean Barry Curran (49 seconds)
Jean’s video memoir includes more than 100 photographs and stories from throughout her life. Her children commissioned the film as a gift for her 90th birthday. The full video runs 150 minutes.
Life Celebrations
Create a meaningful video to celebrate a milestone, anniversary, retirement, bridal shower, birthday, or other special occasion. I can help gather and edit messages, photographs, and video clips into a keepsake to share now and revisit for years to come.
Messages for Mallory (30 seconds)
Mallory’s friends secretly stepped outside during her bridal shower to record messages for her. A few weeks later, she received the finished video as a surprise gift. The full video runs 20 minutes.
