Preserve your story, your way.

There are five ways to make your family's film, from a free timeline you build yourself to a fully custom production. Begin wherever feels right. Each one is made with the same patience and care.

Founding Families

We are inviting 33 founding families.

The first 33 families to commission a Signature film become our founding families. As our thanks for beginning with us, they receive it for $10,000, which is $4,500 below the standard $14,500.

Made with Devotive.

A Devotive editor, videographer, or full crew takes your family's story from conversation to finished film.

A few things people ask first.

What does a typical project look like?
It depends on where you begin. A Self-Made film happens at your own pace, one recorded answer at a time. A Signature film starts with a long conversation, then a day of filming, then a careful edit.
How long does it take?
Self-Made films are ready within days of your last recording. Keepsake films take a few weeks. Signature films deliver about two months after filming. Heirloom productions run four to nine months.
Can we customize?
Yes, packages are starting points, not constraints. Additions like extra interviews, additional filming days, photo restoration, or museum-grade physical deliverables are all welcome.
What is the Founding Families rate?
Signature is $14,500. The first 33 families to commission one receive it for $10,000. Once those places are taken, the standard price applies.
What does hosting cost for a Self-Made film?
The first year is included. After that, hosting is $39 per year. You can download your film at any time, and it is yours to keep.
