Preserve a Loved One’s Story Forever — In a Beautiful 5–8 Minute Family Story Film

A simple 30-minute guided recording becomes a professionally edited film your whole family can cherish for generations. One session. One film. One unforgettable gift.

Reserve now, schedule later (record anytime in the next 12 months).

Why Families Choose Us Over Doing It Themselves

Capturing a loved one’s story is priceless — but doing it yourself can feel overwhelming.

Family Story Films makes it effortless, meaningful, and beautifully polished.

Here’s what sets us apart:

A guided, natural interview that helps your loved one open up and share richer stories.

Professional editing and enhancement — clean audio, smooth pacing, music, and color.

A clear story arc that turns memories into a cohesive, moving film.

A finished piece your entire family will cherish, not just a raw recording on a phone.

One session. One film. A lifetime of meaning.

Memories disappear unless we intentionally save them.

Why stories matter more than ever

Every family has stories that deserve to be remembered.

The laughs. The lessons. The memories that shaped generations.

But most of those stories are never recorded — until it’s too late.

At Family Story Films, we make it effortless to capture the voice, wisdom, and personality of someone you love… and preserve it forever.

You’ll see a preview before the film is finalized.

One Recording. One Beautiful Film.

No tech. No scripts. No pressure.

A Family Story Film is a short, beautifully edited video created from a single, guided conversation.

Your loved one speaks naturally while our interviewer gently draws out their life stories.

We handle the editing, music, color, pacing — everything.

You receive:

A moving 5–8 minute film
A guided storytelling session
Professional editing + enhancement
Digital delivery to share with the whole family

Simple. Emotional. Timeless.

Why I Started Family Story Films

Daniel Workman

Founder, First Customer

When I was 12, I lost my grandfather — and with him, all the stories I wish I could share with my own kids today.

Recently, a close friend lost his father, and I watched him feel that same ache… the feeling of wishing you had captured their voice, their wisdom, their presence.

It made me realize something:

We don’t get to choose how much time we have with the people we love — but we can choose to preserve their stories.

Family Story Films was created from that simple belief.

One session. One film. A lifetime of meaning for the people who matter most.

What You'll See in the Film

Every Family Story Film is unique, but most include the moments and memories that matter most:

Childhood memories — the places they grew up, the people who shaped them.
Life lessons and wisdom they want to pass down.
Stories of love, friendship, and family that defined who they became.
The best advice they ever received — and the advice they want future generations to remember.
Reflections on life, gratitude, and legacy spoken in their own voice.
