Oral History
Our most requested film style is Your Life's Memories.
Our one-on-one interview with the oral history subject -- you, your family member, your
friend --captures their unique life experiences, in their own words, from on-camera interviews.
From those recorded memories, we create a film that tells the inspiring, dynamic arc of their lifetime.
Life photographs, old home movie footage, personal video, audio recordings, newspaper clippings, popular music, private mementos and objects, personal writings and personal and professional achievements -- these are all central to telling the life stories of oral history subjects in this 45-60 minute living retrospective.
​
In the end, Your Life's Memories films recreates the unique arc of compelling lives -- yours, or someone you know.
Your
Family
Tree
​
Family Tree Films uses certified genealogical chart data to create films that visually show ancestral connection.
​
We analyze your family tree data that has been generated by offline or online ancestral research and that has been accompanied by careful and thorough citation. That can be collected either through the use of genetic genealogy that employs DNA data to connect family members, or through traditional genealogical research to trace lineage.
​
Your Family Tree films are educational and entertaining for use at gatherings such as family reunions.
