Every family’s story is different.

We can also create a five-minute highlight film, a couple’s legacy film, a tribute or memorial film, or a portrait session.

Additional subjects, filming time, locations, and expedited delivery can be added after your consultation. You will always receive clear pricing before deciding to move forward.

A thoughtful, guided experience

What the process feels like

01

We begin with a story call

Tell us who you hope to preserve and what prompted you to reach out. There is no pressure.

02

We prepare together

Thoughtful prompts and planning make the interview feel natural. No speech or camera experience is needed.

03

We film a conversation

Jhovany creates a calm, patient environment where stories unfold in the person’s own words and rhythm.

04

Your family receives the film

The interview becomes a lasting documentary that can be revisited, shared, and passed down.

Questions families ask

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my parent says their life is not interesting?

The film is not about fame. It is about the voice, humor, memories, values, and presence that make someone irreplaceable to their family.

Do you provide the questions ahead of time?

Yes. We plan the themes together and can share prompts beforehand. Family members may also contribute questions for longer films.

Where does filming take place?

Filming can happen in a familiar home, another meaningful setting, or—in some cases—our Pomona studio. We discuss travel and location during the story call.

Can more than one person be interviewed?

Yes. Couples and additional family members can be included. We will recommend the right structure and provide a custom quote.

Is this only for someone near the end of life?

Not at all. Families commission films for birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions, estate planning, or simply because now feels right.

Begin with a conversation

Preserve the person, not just the history.

There is no obligation and no cart. Just a human conversation about someone who matters to you.
