Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Family Legacy Memoir Video?
Our videos are exactly like the name says, legacy memoirs. It’s your life’s story, history, and memories told specifically by you. We capture your version of your life and carefully edited into a video.
Why Choose Us?
We believe that every "ordinary" life is actually extraordinary. Our passion is providing a platform for the matriarchs, patriarchs, and unsung heroes of our community to speak their truth. We do more than just record dates and timelines—we capture the heart, soul, and spirit of how you paved the way for the generations to come.
The "Community Reservations" (The Cultural Bridge)
Historically, our stories have often been told for us, or lost to time. We are changing that. We provide a space where people of color can reclaim their narratives and ensure their families’ strength is never forgotten. We’re making legacy-keeping a new tradition for our community.
Is the interview session private?
Absolutely. Privacy is incredibly important to us. We’ve found that when others are in the room, people tend to be a bit more reserved. To give you the space to speak completely freely, we conduct the interview with only the client and our filmmaker in the room. Additionally, we provide a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before we ever turn on the cameras, ensuring your story stays entirely in your hands.
What will I be asked to answer?
We will ask a variety of leading questions in the interview. Many of those are open-ended, which may lead to more questions based on the client’s responses. We will ask if there are specific questions they want asked, or topics we should completely avoid.
Do you research your clients? ( The Professionalism)
We don't perform outside research because we want to hear the story exactly as you remember it. We are 'blank canvases' for your truth, ensuring your video is 100% your perspective, free from outside influence or bias.
Do you narrate the video?
We remove our voice for the client to provide their own emotional experiences. However, with tiles, music, and photos, we can premier their story.
What measures do you take to keep “secrets” exactly that “a secret’?
We provide an NDA - Non Disclosure Agreement before filming.
How should I prepare for the video? (The Luxury/Comfort)
Preparation is two-fold: We provide a luxury experience with a professional hair and makeup team so you look your best, but we also provide our Family Legacy Planner. This helps you reflect on your moments and 'Family Values' before the cameras start rolling.
Do I have to talk about painful memories?
Not at all. You are the director of your story. You decide what is shared and what remains private."
Who owns the final legacy video?
You have 100% ownership. We treat your footage with absolute confidentiality and deliver the final film straight to you. It is your family heirloom to safeguard, share, and treasure exactly how you see fit.
