Life story film

A film of their life story, not another slideshow

A life story film tells a whole life in a few minutes: chapter by chapter, with photos, narration and music. We write the script from a questionnaire you fill in, and a film of up to 3 minutes is $149. It’s ready within 72 hours, for any occasion: a birthday, an anniversary, a retirement, a family reunion.

Start the film How it works

What’s in the film

A story, not just photos

A slideshow shows pictures. A life story film tells who this person is: where they came from, what they lived through, and what everyone says about them when they’re not in the room.

You tell, we write

Answer a questionnaire that reads like a conversation, about fifteen minutes. We write a script from your answers, and you read and correct it before the film is made.

Narration in the voice you choose

A professional voice, a family member’s voice from thirty seconds recorded on a phone, or music only.

Watch before it’s final

Watch each chapter on its own and mark any moment you want changed. Every package includes revision rounds.

These are the chapters we suggest. With a full story you decide: rename them, add one, or take one out.

An example script

This is how a story written from your details sounds

Opening
Seventy years. A thousand Sunday dinners. And one line we all know by heart.
Childhood
A girl from Cleveland in pigtails, who already knew who needed another plate.
Parenthood
“Did you eat something?” Forty years, the same question. You never gave up.

How it works

Four steps, and most of the work is ours: you tell the story and upload photos, we write, narrate, compose and edit.

Questions

How is a life story film different from a photo slideshow?

A slideshow is one photo after another with a song behind it. A life story film is built from chapters of a life, with a script that tells the story, narration that carries it from photo to photo, and music written to its pace.

How long does it take?

The film is ready within 72 hours from when you finish the questionnaire and pay. Your part is about fifteen minutes of questions, and uploading the photos.

Which occasions is it for?

A birthday, an anniversary, a retirement, a tribute evening or a family reunion. You pick the occasion, and the questions and chapters fit it.

How many photos do we need?

For a full story at least 25, and 60 to 90 is best. Upload them all at once; we sort them into chapters by what’s in them.

What happens to our photos and details?

Everything is stored encrypted and can only be reached through your personal link. Photos are deleted 90 days after delivery and are never used to train AI models.
