Filming your Life Story, in eastern Iowa

the Life Story Experience

Play the video

After seeing a life story film made by a filmmaker in another state, I wished I had one of each of my grandparents who have now been gone over a decade. I knew I had to do whatever it took to offer them here in Iowa. I spent 2021 learning the craft and I’m so excited to offer them to you now. 

The Ultimate Keepsake

This is the ultimate keepsake that you can have of your parents or grandparents. I film a conversation-style interview about their life so you can forever hear their stories in their own voice. Your grandchildren will thank you one day through tears for allowing them to see and hear their family history in such an intimate way. 

Sometimes this can be a little nerve-wracking for your loved one to think about being filmed, but if they’re hesitant, I’ll help you with some suggestions of how to get them on board, and a guide for them so they know exactly what to expect. 

So what is it exactly?

Single: $1600   |   couple: $2100

Once filmed, these take 10 weeks to deliver. You’ll receive a private YouTube link so you can watch on any device, as well as a gorgeous personalized USB and keepsake box (additional USBs/keepsake boxes may be ordered).

I offer life story films for single or widowed individuals and for couples.
