CELEBRATE FAMILY MEMORIES
Documentaries & Multimedia
As a professional filmmaker and photojournalist, I have worked around the world on countless subjects. Perhaps surprisingly, some of the most satisfying projects have been closer to home, working with families to share valuable treasures - their stories. A father's experiences in World War Two. A mother's career as an artist. Grandma and grandpa's journey to American shores. These types of memories are unique and powerful reminders of the joys and dramas that made us all that we are today.
We create broadcast-quality films and presentations similar to any PBS or network program, but tailored to a singular audience - your family.
- Edward Nachtrieb
Family History Video
This 42 minute documentary was commissioned by CB Simons to honor the incredible World War Two experiences of his father-in law.
​
Although originally intended just for the family, this piece went on to appear in film festivals around the country and is now available on Apple and Vudu streaming platforms.
Enhancing memory when it needs a boost.
Photographic montages catered from personal archives highlight key moments, milestones and memories. These multimedia memory boosters can provide joy for families.

Celebrations and Memorials
We craft slide presentations by diving into each family's personal trove of photographs and then editing and restoring them before adding custom visual effects and music.. These presentations have enhanced celebrations, special events and memorials.

Appreciation from a client:
"My mom watches her video everyday and sings along with the music. She loves it, her nurses love it and, most importantly, it gives her happiness."
