the investment in a legacy film
THE INVESTMENT
what you are really preserving
A legacy film is not a video. It is the sound of a voice, the timing of a laugh, and the stories only one person can tell, kept in a form your family can return to for the rest of their lives. Years from now, the details fade: the way they told a story, the expressions, the small phrases that were entirely their own. A legacy film holds onto them. That is what the investment protects, something that cannot be recreated once it is gone.

Every In My Day film is created with time, care, and respect for the life being preserved. The final investment depends on the depth of the interview, the amount of family photo and archival material, the filming location, and the length of the finished film.

every life is worth preserving
A legacy film is not only for people with famous careers or dramatic stories. The most remarkable lives are usually made of ordinary moments lived with love, humour, persistence, and care. The stories told at the kitchen table, in the garden, or while looking through an old photo album are exactly the ones your family will treasure most. If someone you love has a story worth keeping, it is worth preserving well.
CUSTOM FAMILY DOCUMENTARIES
when a story asks for more
A legacy film that begins at $5,900 is built around one guided interview and the photos and details that bring it to life. It is a beautiful way to preserve a single voice and story. Some families, though, are preserving something larger. A father and mother who should be interviewed together, and separately. A family history that spans several siblings, each with their own memories of the same childhood. A story tied to a place worth filming: the family farm, a childhood home, the land a life was built on. A business or a legacy that shaped a whole community.
These become custom family documentaries, shaped entirely around what your family hopes to preserve.
A custom project might include...
The People & Their Stories
Multiple interviews, filmed with several family members across generations
Both parents interviewed, together and separately, so each voice is fully preserved
The story of a family business, farm, or heritage that shaped a community, traced across generations
Places & Treasured Details
Filming on location at multiple meaningful places, from the family farm to a childhood home or town
Deeper archival work, weaving in home movies, letters, documents, and restored family photographs
Original music, or the thoughtful use of songs and traditions that meant something to the family
The Finished Keepsake
A longer, richer final film, structured in chapters across a life or a family
Individual chapters or shorter films made for each child or grandchild
A beautifully packaged edition, delivered on a keepsake drive, with additional copies for the family
...and anything else you can imagine.
