Save a life forever, in an Heirloom Video

Imagine how you'd feel if you opened a box in the attic and found recordings of your grandparents telling you their life story. You can give that gift to future generations. Record, celebrate, share and preserve your family's stories. Your Heirloom Videos will be a treasure for generations to come.

Everyone has a story, but most need some help to tell it

In nearly three decades of work in news and news-talk radio, I've interviewed thousands of people about thousands of stories. Now I'm focusing on personal stories: YOUR stories. I will work with your family to record and preserve your legacy on video, audio, podcast or any other format we can imagine.

Preserve A Life

Your storyteller's life story will inspire, teach and comfort. You'll know they won't be forgotten.

Before It's Too Late

A unique opportunity to freeze time and capture memories, while those memories are still available.

Share and Celebrate

Heirloom Videos can be shared with friends and family to keep your storyteller's spirit living on.

Options For Your Budget

From comprehensive biographical documentaries to audio-only conversations, we'll deliver value.

Pass Down Your Values

Help your descendants understand an inheritance by sharing the wisdom that built it.

More Than Documentaries

Heirloom Videos can be more than sit-down interviews. We have fun ways to preserve your stories.

Consult and Converse

We'll meet for a free initial consultation to learn about your storyteller. I'll get back to you with options to meet your needs. I have a good long conversation with the storyteller to get the basics and hints about great stories to capture.

Capture

Lights, cameras, microphones - the full treatment! Hours of focused personal attention and curiosity bring out the essence of your storyteller.

Create

Turning the raw material into a compelling and lasting Heirloom Video takes time and care. Or, save money by choosing a less-produced video instead, or even an audio-only life story recording.

Digitized VHS with restoration

Thanks to the technical skills of @TheMediaHoarder , we can watch (and cringe!) our newly digitized, old TV commercials and appearances. They've been on VHS and hauled around for years.
