The films

Nothing is as vivid, authentic and powerful as film.

The films

One storyteller, or two voices.

Solo captures one remarkable life, chapter by chapter. Duo films two people together, a couple, siblings or lifelong friends, sharing the story they hold in common. Both come with your own Story Coach, a gentle filming morning at home, and a finished film your family will keep for generations.

From people who’ve made their film

Portrait of David

“It shows your lived life. And to share that with other people is really enriching and rewarding”

David

Recorded his Time Capsule

Portrait of Sue

“It felt wonderful to be remembering things about my life; things I may have forgotten about. Some were funny and some were sad, but it was really great recalling all of them. I absolutely loved it!”

Sue

Given her Time Capsule by her family

Portrait of Kammi

“If you don’t do it, you will not have this thought-out, complete picture of your life. You may have told somebody about something, but this brings all of those important things into one place, one film”
