Fame isn't what makes a life worth documenting.
Everyone has an interesting story
to tell.
Silent Histories
​Many people’s lives, though rich with meaning, are never documented in a way that truly reflects their value.
​Losing the Essence
When memories are passed down verbally within families, the emotional nuance and context is often diluted or entirely lost.
​Fading Memories
Memories and emotional recollections often fade over time without proper documentation.​​​​
​
Legacy Challenges
Families often struggle to authentically convey the lives and values of their loved ones for future generations.​​​
WE
CREATE
LASTING
LEGACIES
At Life Stories we bring decades of experience creating high end films for major broadcasters and global brands. We understand the power of filmmaking, the importance of storytelling and the essential human need for connection.
​
Using Netflix approved cinema cameras we film beautifully lit interviews that form the heart of your story. These interviews are crafted into bespoke documentaries intercut with old photographs, archive footage and music creating a one of kind legacy.
Why Create A Personal Documentary?
Emotional Connection
Documentaries capture more than just words. The ability to see facial expressions and hear tone of voice creates a strong emotional connection for viewers especially when combined with music, photos and archive footage.
Sharing Memories
Video offers a powerful way to immortalise elements of someone's personality and their stories. It's an accessible and enduring medium that connects generations in a deeply personal way.
Celebrate a Life
A personal documentary is a meaningful way to celebrate a person’s life, values and wisdom creating a lasting legacy that will endure and continue to inspire into the future.
