After speaking with you to discuss your vision, I provide a cost estimate with a detailed breakdown. 

I work in an intimate manner, just myself with a cinematographer and therefore I am able to keep the costs to a minimum while still producing a high quality, beautiful film.

Please contact me to discuss your ideas and the options during a free consultation.

Creating a custom crafted legacy film is not a pre-packaged service. It requires  time to develop a relationship with you so you are comfortable sharing your story in an authentic, heart-felt manner.

The process of making a film starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss the specifics of the project, then we’ll meet in person to discuss the interview process and consider the filming location(s).

On the interview day I will help you feel at ease. I’ll also gather photographs or home movies you’ve chosen to include. 

The magic of storytelling is in the edit. You’ll have the chance to review the film before it’s finalized. Once everyone is happy, I will provide a copy on a thumbnail drive as well as a digital link so you may share it electronically.

I have complied a extensive question sheet which helps to draw out the details of a life story. I am more than happy to provide this question sheet beforehand.

Yes. Who sees your legacy film is entirely up to you. This is why you won’t find a sample of a personal Family Legacy Film on my site.  All footage is kept in total confidence. Once the final work is complete, at your request I will transfer all the raw footage on to a hard drive you provide me.

I will never share anything without your express permission. However, I may request permission from you to share parts of your story with new clients to help them visualise the outcome.

Although some people may want to tell their story while they are still young in order  to keep a record of milestone events, I feel there is special value in telling someone’s story when they are knowingly near the end of life.  I learned a painful lesson when my Grandmother passed suddenly. That’s what inspired me to provide this service for others.

Create something now, and for years to come you’ll be able to see their smile, hear their voice, and listen to those stories you “didn’t have time for.”

I work in the NSW Northern Rivers and South East Queensland area between Ballina, Lismore, Byron Bay and the lower Gold Coast region.
