Last Chance for Summer Video Interviews
When the parents arrive from out of town ...
I love sitting on the patio with the birds singing, the sun shining, and the flowers waving in the breeze. What are we doing? We're conducting a video interview. The resulting disc or book will become a treasured heirloom for your family forever.
The interview actually starts with a Life Story Questionnaire completed in advance, asking basic questions about one's life, ancestors, values, beliefs, children, and grandchildren. On the day of the interview, we use that Questionnaire as a map to guide what we talk about. The interview itself is no more complex than a pleasant chat over tea but the results are enduring.
Why would you have your parents interviewed? Because they know your family's stories. They know in detail who your grandparents were and the challenges and triumphs that your ancestors experienced in creating a better life for you. Your parents also know the stories behind that box of old photos that's in the hall closet.
The sad fact is that people wait too long to record the stories of their family. Alzheimer's, dementia, strokes, and heart attacks can steal your loved ones and those stories are lost instantly.

But creating a legacy for your family is quite simple. It's a series of video interviews with personal historian Cory Bretz, high quality scanning of the old photographs, and transferring old 8mm films. Imagine having an amazing family video that captivates and inspires.
Most projects from Heirloom Films include life stories, family history, wisdom, principles, values, and blessings - personal messages to each loved one.
Film projects can be managed with by-the-hour rates or special package pricing and easy payment plans.
Interviews done in the Summer make the perfect gift for Christmas and Chanukah.

The Storybook of a Life Time
Your favourite book for bedtime stories and the coffee table
"Once upon a time..." Those words start off many of the stories that we grew up with. And the same will be true for your children and great grandchildren. But instead of tales of mythical monsters and make-believe fairy princesses, the stories can now be the real life adventures of your own family's ancestors.
The story of your parents and grandparents can be inspiring and interesting. With simple interviews and photo scanning, those stories can become amazing books that will be passed down for generations.
Printed on acid-free paper and properly bound with hard covers just like books found at the bookstore, your family history book could easily survive hundreds of years.
Many people chose to document the lives of their grandparents and how they came to this country. For some it's the exploits of a husband / dad who serve in a war overseas or had an interesting career. Or it could be a cookbook featuring Granny's famous recipes, photos, and her 10 Lessons for Living a Good Life!
Chances are your parents have already been told they should write a book and now they just feel guilty because they haven't. We'll do the research, writing, design, and printing so all they have to do is wrap the books and give them as gifts!
Books are the perfect gift for Christmas and Chanukah.
