Your life is magic. Your life is important. Your life should be shared…
It’s easy for us to feel like our day-to-day life isn’t extraordinary. We can think of ourselves as “just a regular person,” and not think we have much going on …
I’ve dedicated my life to telling stories, and even if you may think you don’t have a story to tell, believe me, you and your family do. I will create a fantastic short documentary film about you, your family, your relationships, YOUR STORY – to share with generations to come.
Our Services Get StartedAre you watching you family grow up and change nearly every day? Are you thinking about all the memories you’ve shared, and wishing you could capture those memories, and hold on to them forever in a wonderful visual and moving form?
We are living in challenging times right now. There’s no doubt about that at all. And my heart truly goes out to anyone who has been directly impacted by the virus. Above all else, I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.
I will create this entire project while maintaining safe distancing, and wearing a mask at all times. I’ll also keep my staff down to only one or two other people and they will also practice the same safety measures.
And so much of what I’ll be doing will be assembling family photographs of yours, and even doing some things online with you, when we don’t even have to be in person at all.
This is an incredible gift to give to anyone in your life. Our lives and stories are so important, let’s document yours, or those of someone you love, so they can be enjoyed for decades and generations to come.
Perhaps you have someone in your life
Perhaps you have someone who has recently passed away. I can create an incredible and meaningful memory of them, incorporating family thoughts about them, photographs of them, home movies, and even audio of them, if it exists.
I’m so honored to have devoted my life to filmmaking, storytelling, photography, and more. I don’t say any of this to brag, I just want you to know how seriously I take this, and how excited I am to talk with you about your life, your family, your story.
Don’t worry at all if you have no idea what aspects of your life would be interesting enough to make a “movie” out of. Believe me when I say that you DO have very interesting things in your life that family, friends, and more will love to see.
The key is – it has to be told in a compelling and emotional way. That’s where I come in.
When you think of a “DOCUMENTARY FILM,” you probably think of a 2 hour movie about a movie star, or famous athlete, or a giant corporation, or war, or something like that. However, the best documentaries are emotionally driven, and very personal.
Imagine me capturing wonderful video of you with your family – spending time together – laughing together – doing things you love together. Imagine wonderful interviews with you and the people in your life where you’re all able to share your most fun and memorable moments together. And even people who are typically not very comfortable on camera will LOVE these interviews, as they will be guided by me, and will be very fun and low-pressure.

Have you ever had an idea – a thought late at night – and you woke up, and thought about writing it down, but then just went back to sleep? …
We are all looking for things to do right now – things to connect us with Family, and to connect us with the world. While we can’t be out there …
