Legacy Film
Capturing the story and soul of your loved one
What Is A Legacy Film?
A Legacy Film is a biographical documentary, similar to those you'd find on Netflix; but instead of being about a famous person, it's about a regular person who's still alive. Most commonly it's about someone nearly or already retired, and the film looks back over their lives and accomplishments, with the same care and attention that traditional documentary films give to their famous subjects.
Families, friends and colleagues are interviewed, old footage is discovered and revived, and a living portrait is created, suitable for showing in a theater, or passing down to a select group - a true legacy for family and friends.
