Personal Documentary

Everyone has a story worth remembering

Personal documentaries are more than interviews—they’re living time capsules. I sit down with individuals and families to capture the memories, voices, and life lessons that define who they are. Whether it’s a parent reflecting on a lifetime of experiences, a couple sharing how they built their life together, or someone passing on wisdom to the next generation, these films are a way to preserve identity, legacy, and love. I’m based in Southern Missouri but I’m happy to travel anywhere in the U.S. to help tell your story.

How it Works

1. Let’s Talk

We begin with a conversation. This is where we talk about what matters most to you—what stories you want to tell, which chapters of your life to focus on, and any special moments or people you’d like to highlight. Together, we’ll build the framework for the interview, including the questions I’ll ask. This helps both of us come prepared and comfortable when it’s time to film.

2. Share Your Photos

You’ll upload personal photos that help tell your story. Whether it’s childhood memories, wedding pictures, or snapshots of everyday life, these images add depth and warmth to the final film.

3. The Interview

No matter where you’re located, I’ll come to you with cameras, lights, and microphones—because your story deserves to be told where you feel most at home. We’ll sit down for a relaxed, meaningful conversation that captures your voice, your memories, and your personality.

4. Putting it All Together

I take all the pieces—your words, your pictures, your emotions—and carefully shape them into a polished, personal documentary. This is where your story truly comes to life.

5. Share Your Story

Once the film is complete, I’ll send you a private link so you can stream and share it easily with family and friends—wherever they are.
