The Power of Preserving Legacies

How Tad Gardner’s Experience inspired Our Mission

Tad Gardner’s Story

When we had the privilege of visiting Tad’s office and witnessing his incredible photos and memorabilia, we asked him if he had written his life story or made plans to share it with his family.

Preserved For His Descendants

Tad expressed regret that he hadn’t taken those steps. In response, we made it our mission to interview him and help preserve his legacy for his loved ones. Tad’s story served as a powerful reminder that everyone deserves the opportunity to share their life’s journey.

Crafting Your Personalized Life Story Video

Personalized Storytelling Experience

We guide you through the process of sharing your unique life story, capturing your knowledge, values, hopes, and dreams. Together, we create a powerful narrative that resonates with your loved ones.

Thoughtful Interview Questions

Our professional interviewers ask thought-provoking questions that explore significant moments, milestones, and lessons in your life. These questions elicit meaningful responses, creating a comprehensive and engaging story.

Inclusion of Other Significant Individuals

We offer the option to interview other important people in your life, such as family members or close friends. Their insights and anecdotes enrich your story, providing a more comprehensive perspective.

Integration of Vintage Materials

If you have vintage videos, photos, or memorabilia that you’d like to include, we seamlessly incorporate them into your video. These cherished artifacts add depth and authenticity to your storytelling experience.

Review and Approval Process

We value your input and ensure that you’re involved at every step. We send you a draft of your video, allowing you to review and provide feedback. Your final approval is required before we proceed with the production.
