Your first conversation

How your film consultation works.

Share who the film is for, the stories you want to capture and where your family is based. We can talk through interviews and photographs together, whether you’re planning a parent’s life-story film or a documentary with several relatives in Lake County or a surrounding community.

What happens after you get in touch?

  1. We get to know the story.

    We read your note and arrange a conversation about the person, the memories you hope to capture and why this film matters to your family.

  2. We talk through filming at home.

    We discuss location, preferred timing, who might join the interview and anything that would help your relative feel comfortable with the camera.

  3. You receive a clear recommendation.

    A written proposal sets out the package, any additions, the schedule, payment plan and finished-film deliverables so you can decide how to move forward.
