Their stories,
on film.

Documentary films of the people you love, told in their own words and kept by your family for good.

01 — Why families call

Most families call for a happy reason.

A

A big birthday is coming.

Seventy-five deserves more than a cake. Give them an afternoon to tell the stories everyone always asks for.

B

They tell the best stories.

The road trip, the first restaurant, how they met. Get the versions only they can tell, in their own voice.

C

You want the grandkids to know them.

Not just the photos. The laugh, the jokes, the advice they’d give if they were sitting right there.

02 — How it works

No speeches, no camera experience. Just a good conversation.

1

A story call

Fifteen minutes. Who it’s for, what to focus on, and which film fits.

2

We shape the interview

The family shares names, places and stories. Your loved one gets a one-page outline of what we’ll talk about. No script to study.

3

Filming day

A calm conversation somewhere familiar, usually at home. Then we edit and deliver the film for your family to keep.

03 — Watch

Three minutes from a life story film.

A highlight from Angelica’s Life Portrait Film. Full films stay private to each family; ask on your call to see more.

05 — Who makes these
Jhovany Quiroz

I spent a decade interviewing people about their lives. Now I do it for families.

Every family has someone who tells the best stories. In My Life Studios makes sure those stories, and the laugh that comes with them, stay in the family.

Know what to ask them. The guide is free.

Seven quick questions, and I’ll send an interview guide written around the person you have in mind.

06 — Questions

What if they don’t think their life is interesting?

Almost nobody does. The interview draws out memories and humor without asking anyone to perform.

Where does filming happen?

Usually at home, somewhere quiet and familiar.

Is this only for the end of life?

No. Families film for birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, or because now feels right.

Can more than one person be interviewed?

Yes. Couples and other family members can be added; I’ll quote it on the call.

07 — Begin

Start with a fifteen-minute conversation.

If this speaks to you, send a note.

I’d be honored to create a gift that lasts for generations.
