Family Documentaries
Every family has stories worth recording. Our Family Documentaries preserve these stories in beautifully crafted films that capture the essence of your loved ones — their voices, memories, and the unique connections that shape your family.
Through candid interviews, everyday moments, and carefully curated archives, we weave together a cinematic portrait that feels both intimate and timeless. Each film is made with discretion, artistry, and a deep respect for the legacy being created.
The result is more than a record of events — it’s a living heirloom to be shared, celebrated, and passed down through generations. A Family Documentary ensures that your history remains vivid, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Preserve for all time
01.Research & Planning
We start by getting to know you and your family — through conversations, questionnaires, and pre-interviews. This stage is about uncovering the stories, milestones, and voices that matter most, and shaping them into a creative plan and production schedule. Together we shape the content, focus, style, and tone of the film and agree on budgets and timelines.
02. Production & Filming
This is where your family’s story truly comes to life. We film in and around your home or chosen locations, capturing warm, conversational interviews as well as the everyday moments that show who you are—family meals, laughter in the kitchen, time in the garden, or quiet reflection. Depending on your story, we may also film special gatherings, milestone celebrations, or revisits to meaningful places. Alongside new footage, we carefully collect and digitise your photographs, letters, and home movies. Every detail is handled with discretion and care, so the process feels natural, comfortable, and true to your family’s rhythm.
03. Editing & Delivery
This is where your story takes shape. Our editors weave together interviews, archival material, and candid footage into a cohesive film. With music, colour grading, and careful pacing, the result is a polished documentary that feels timeless while remaining true to your family’s voice.
Budgets & Timelines
Every family is different, so we design the process to fit around your time and comfort. We’ll begin with a planning session to outline the scope of the film—how many people will be interviewed, how many days of filming are required, and whether we’ll include travel or events.
From there, we create a clear production schedule so you’ll know exactly what to expect and when.
Budgets are tailored to the scale of each project. A smaller film may require just a day or two of filming and a concise edit, while a larger, more detailed documentary may span multiple shoots, locations, or even years. All costs are outlined upfront, with flexibility to adjust if your vision grows along the way. Our aim is transparency, efficiency, and ensuring that the investment you make delivers a film of lasting value to your family.
First Screening
We can arrange a private cinema screening, giving your film the premiere it deserves. In an intimate theatre booked just for you, your story comes to life on the big screen with a true sense of occasion.
The 7 Up Experience
Inspired by the classic “7 Up” series, this is a long-form documentary journey that grows with your family. Every 2-7 years we return to film new chapters — capturing the changes, challenges, and triumphs as your story unfolds across generations.
It’s more than a film — it’s a living archive, charting your family’s evolution over time with honesty, intimacy, and cinematic craft. Children become adults, relationships deepen, and milestones are marked in a way no photograph or home video ever could.
The result is a priceless heirloom: a series of films that follow your family’s journey through life, preserving not just faces and voices, but the essence of who you are — for all time.
