Celebrating
life stories.
Our work is best understood by seeing and hearing the stories themselves. Below, you'll find examples categorised by film type.
Legacy FILM
Violet’s Story
Synopsis: Doctors told Vi she would never be able to have children. So she and husband, Kevin decided to adopt – first a baby boy and later, a little girl. Years passed. Life was good. Vi finally had the family she’d always dreamed of. Then came the news she never expected to hear.
Memorial FILM
Cameron’s Story
Synopsis: When Cameron passed away unexpectedly at the age of 61, it was a shock for the entire family. But like most funerals these days, his service was live-streamed online and recorded. By combining the recording with photoraphs and home video we produced a lasting memorial for the family.
Tribute FILM
Margaret’s Story
We can ease the burden at a difficult time by producing a Tribute Film for the funeral service. In this case, Margaret had participated in a Premier Legacy Film four years earlier so we were able to include some excerpts from her Master Interview. Thus, she had the unique honour of delivering final reflections on her life at her own funeral.
