You don't need to prepare a speech or know exactly what to say.

Before the interview, we'll work with you to understand the people, memories, experiences, and stories you'd like to preserve.

We'll provide guidance and conversation topics to help make the interview comfortable and natural.

The goal isn't to create a scripted performance. It's to capture genuine stories, memories, laughter, reflections, and the person's unique voice.

Your Interview-Based Legacy Film includes up to 2 hours of recorded interview time.

Local In-Person Interviews
In-person interviews may be available for clients within our local service area. We'll meet in a comfortable setting and guide the conversation naturally as we capture the stories, memories, experiences, and reflections you'd like preserved.

Video Interviews
For clients outside our local service area, interviews can be conducted by video, allowing us to have a personal, face-to-face conversation no matter where you live.

Phone Interviews
Phone interviews may also be available when video isn't preferred or practical. Your recorded conversation can still become the heart of your Legacy Film and be thoughtfully combined with your photographs, home videos, music, and other memories.

In-person interview availability may vary based on location and scheduling. Travel outside our standard local service area may require an additional fee.

Your Interview-Based Legacy Film includes up to 2 hours of recorded interview time.

The conversation may explore childhood, family, relationships, traditions, career, military service, meaningful experiences, accomplishments, life lessons, favorite memories, and messages for future generations.

The final film will feature selected portions of the conversation thoughtfully edited and combined with photographs, videos, music, and other memories.

Your film includes up to 100 photos and video clips that can be thoughtfully incorporated throughout the story.

These might include:

Family photographs
Childhood pictures
Wedding photographs
Military or career memories
Home videos
Vacation memories
Family traditions
Documents or meaningful keepsakes

If additional content is needed to tell the story, we'll discuss available options and any additional costs before proceeding.

Interview-Based Legacy Films are typically approximately 30–45 minutes in length.

The finished film is not simply a recording of the entire interview.

Meaningful portions of the conversation are thoughtfully selected and woven together with photographs, home videos, music, titles, and other memories to create a cohesive story.

Final length may vary depending on the interview, amount of content provided, and story being told.

Typical Completion: 4–8 Weeks

Your production timeline begins once the interview has been completed and all requested photos, videos, and additional materials have been received.

Because Interview-Based Legacy Films involve interview review, story development, detailed editing, and integration of supporting memories, larger or more complex projects may require additional production time.

Expedited scheduling may be available. Contact us for availability and pricing.

Your Interview-Based Legacy Film includes up to 2 complimentary revision rounds.

After receiving your initial film for review, you'll have the opportunity to request reasonable changes before final approval.

Your completed film includes digital delivery and private online viewing.

Personalized DVD and USB keepsake options are available for an additional cost.

Additional keepsake copies may also be available for family members upon request.

Some of the most meaningful memories are still tucked away in photo albums, frames, and boxes—and that's perfectly okay.

You don't need to own a scanner to include printed photographs in your Memory Film.

Printed photographs can be digitized in several ways:

• Use a smartphone or photo-scanning app to create a digital copy.
• Ask a family member to help photograph or scan your pictures.
• Use a local photo-scanning or digitization service.
• For local clients, photo digitization assistance may also be available through Forever MemoRays.

We'll provide simple guidance for photographing or scanning your pictures so they look their best in your finished film.

Please don't mail original photographs unless arrangements have been made with Forever MemoRays in advance.
