Keepsake Films are tailored to your vision, your timeline, and your storytelling goals. Your proposal is shaped by the number of people featured, the locations, the length of the film, and the quantity of personal photos and videos included.
We offer three service levels as a starting point:
I. The Heritage Interview: Essential full story capture. We gather the stories and insights that form the heart of every Keepsake film, captured with refined lighting, clear natural audio, and light editing for flow.
II. The Portrait Documentary: Professional PBS-style storytelling. This beautiful biography is elevated with on-location filming, personal photos, home movies, chapter titles, and a tailored musical score.
III. The Legacy Film: A cinematic movie heirloom. This richly layered film blends expanded filming, an extensive collection of photos and home films, bespoke animation and visual design, a curated sound track, and the work of a dedicated archival researcher.
Investments begin at $12,500. Complete pricing and film length depend on the story’s scale, creative direction, and the experience you would like to create. After thoughtful conversation with you and your family, we will prepare a custom proposal that reflects your vision.
Most Keepsake films take about three months from start to finish. The process takes this time because of the thoughtful care involved: aligning schedules, conducting interviews, curating archives, filming in full, and shaping the story through an editing process that gives your film both polish and depth.
We design the crew size around both the needs of the story and your personal comfort. Sometimes that means just two of us for an intimate interview. Other times it calls for a larger team to capture your family in full. Whether the crew is small or expansive, our presence is always respectful and designed to put you at ease.
It means you are fully supported from beginning to end. We take care of the planning, logistics, and production so the experience feels seamless. Your part is to enjoy the process while we handle the details with care and discretion.
Film captures the essence of a person in ways nothing else can: the sound of their laugh, the sparkle in their eyes, the way they pause before sharing a memory. It is immersive and unforgettable.
For those who wish, we can also create heirloom books to complement a film. These are beautifully designed, crafted to hold photographs, letters, and stories in a form meant to be touched, held, and passed down. Together, a film and a book offer a legacy both enduring and resonant.
Yes. Our world-class production team travels wherever your story calls us. Whether filming in the intimacy of your home or across the globe, our presence is attentive, comfortable, and refined.
The heart of our work is human. Storytelling is built on trust, listening, and presence. We use AI thoughtfully for support like transcription and graphics enhancement. The art of the story comes from our team’s training, expertise, and interpersonal skills honed over decades. Every Keepsake Film is crafted with human eyes, hands, and minds from start to finish.
