Stories to share - now and later
We create filmed life story interviews for families —
a lasting record of you and the people you love.
A time capsule, so future generations don’t just know about someone — they experience who they were, how they lived, and what shaped them.
I’ve worked as Director of Photography at Stanford University since 1996, filming interviews with Silicon Valley pioneers in their homes for the historic Silicon Genesis series.For PBS, I also filmed Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger—the pilot who safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River.

Your Story Captured For Generations
The process is simple.
We’ll guide you, set a date,
and create a relaxed, well-organized recording session.
Your story is beautifully filmed, carefully shaped,
and delivered in a form your loved ones can keep forever.
You prepare. We show up. We handle the rest.
An act of honor
There’s something powerful that happens when a parent — or parent-in-law — is truly seen.
For many, it’s a rare experience. A chance to speak without interruption. To be asked about their life — not just what they did, but what it meant. What they remember. What stayed with them. When someone is given that space, something shifts. They begin to open. Details emerge. Moments long held quietly begin to take shape in words. And beneath it all, there’s a feeling that comes through clearly: They are valued. They are appreciated. They matter. It’s not about performance. It’s not about saying the perfect thing. It’s about presence. And in that space, people are often surprised by how much there is to share — and how meaningful it feels to be heard.
