Services
As a freelance filmmaker, I am interested in creating archival experiences and videos for others! Through my three-tier offerings, I hope to create a seamless process for you to archive your families. All you have to do is share your home videos and your time. I will turn it around and create something new with it all. My mission is to give your old home movies a new purpose and intentionally archive your memories and loved ones. Please see my personal projects below to see where the inspiration for this project began: in my undergraduate years.
tier 1: celebrations
Birthday and celebration montage videos made from your own home videos!
​
All you have to do is send the videos you want included, and I will create a montage! We can also include videos of family members sending well wishes to be included at the end.
tier 2:
Time Capsules
New memories and video archives made of:
-
family recipes
-
preschool admission
-
your own idea!
​
Think of it as a way to remember this specific time (preschool) or experience (preserving family recipes). We see these as important because, while you can journal about all of this, there is a different impact in seeing it reflected at you in video form.
Tier 3:
Short docs
An artist made documentary for and/or from aging parents. This is the more creative and lengthy project. Through working together with you and your parent (or loved one intended to be archived), we will create an archive of this time and their life. This can take direction from the client or loved one:
-
Open When: Taking direction from the loved one in creating a video that is intended to be watched at specific times after they have passed
-
Stories From: Taking direction from the client in getting stories from the loved one as well as their family in order to provide a thorough portrait
​
Both options will use home videos from the client.
