Can I Purchase a Life Story Film as a Gift?

Your life story film makes a great gift for your loved ones. There’s no better way to show how special your family’s memories and life story is than purchasing life story films for your parents, grandparents or other family members. Tell your own story or arrange for a biography-style life memoir for parents and grandparents.

This growing trend allows you, a loved one or a couple to be interviewed on film, prompted to recount past adventures, overcome challenges and personal anecdotes. The process incorporates old photos to create a seamless narrative that enthralls all family members. If you’re purchasing your life story film as a gift:

• Legacy Movies sends you a custom video card to present to your loved one, explaining what life story films are and what they can expect.
• For an extra fee, you can even record a custom message that’s uploaded into the card. Your message plays when the recipient opens the card. Tell them how much you love them and how excited they should be for their life story film from Legacy Movies.

How Does Legacy Movies’ Process Work?

There are four basic steps to making life story films. Legacy Movies makes it easy for you to help create a beautifully made personal movie. Each step in the process ensures that the producer, videographers, editors and your family have everything needed to produce a memorable, aesthetically pleasing film.

Experience the ease of assembling the many pieces of your story through Legacy Movies’ simple scheduling, suited to your family member’s availability. The process includes:

1. Making an initial phone call to book your interview with the film crew at a convenient time and discuss the overall project timeline.
2. Answering the pre-filming questionnaire to prepare for the interview. It seamlessly guides you through every chapter of your life while challenging you to remember those valuable memories and experiences. These are the stories covered during your interview.
3. Gathering favorite family photos that highlight the different chapters of your life. At the interview, the Legacy Movies team scans and digitizes the photos, which are incorporated into your life story film. As a bonus, all the digitized photos are safely saved in the cloud.
4. Preparing for your home-based interview. No stone goes unturned with your life story film. You or your loved one participates in a filmed conversation. People love reliving their favorite family and lived memories.

After the interview is complete, the Legacy Movies team expertly combines all the assets — such as the interview footage, photos and music — into a film that tells your family’s story. It’s a way to capture the life stories of an older family member before they’re lost forever.
