The
Legacy
Project

A joyful elder couple celebrating together outdoors

Legends are forgotten no matter how great their lives, if their story is not documented. You have a chance to change that for your legend.

Your parent has lived for several decades and built a great life. This legend has stories for days. You should really document those stories.

Who is a legend

A man or woman who has lived and learned, whose story is worth sharing and saving.

An unperishable gift

You can buy them a car, build them a house, pay for that hip replacement, but one unperishable gift you can give them is the chance to feel heard, seen, and recognized by documenting their story.

How to tell their story

Three ways to preserve a life on film.

We shape the production around the legend, not the other way round.

Multi-Person DocumentaryYour legend and the people whose lives they touched share stories about their impact and influence.
Full DocumentaryRe-enactments, filming at the real locations of their journey. A full movie production with your parent as the star.
