HOW?

This is fundamentally a creative project, a film produced to tell the story of your family. But usually this is how it works:

Filming is done either on location, at your home, for a relaxed experience, or over zoom. The interviews are approximately 30 minutes each and range from ages 4-18. We make a film every three years (or as agreed).

On Location: Obviously, in-person interviews are better. We’re able to connect better with your kids, and get professional footage.

Over Zoom: The pandemic taught us these can work surprisingly well. We create the best footage possible - especially helpful if you’re outside of London.

How the Interviews Work:

We agree a plan for interviews at the start, we recommend starting with three ‘seasons’, as the magic is watching their personality evolve.

We agree a set of topics with you at the start, and ask questions from those topics that tend to illicit interesting responses.

We then explore those topics in multiple interviews.

We take a gentle, patient approach, and approach it with flexibility.

Ownership and Privacy:

The footage is yours. We store it safely until we make your film, when we deliver both the film and the raw, unedited footage.

If you have the films edited annually, you get the footage annually… although films improve when edited across multiple years.

We do not publish your footage anywhere without permission.

We do not sell any of your data to anyone, ever.

If we went out of business, you own the footage, not us.

If we were unable to make your film, for any reason, we would send you all the unedited footage, immediately.
