Story feature film

Some stories are too specific, too vivid, too important to get lost inside a broader conversation. A Story Feature Film captures one defining chapter — and tells it the way it deserves to be told.

What it is

A short-form documentary of approximately five minutes, focused on a single story, passion, relationship or achievement. Beautifully filmed, carefully edited, and made to last.

  • Pre-film discovery conversation
  • Tailored interview questions
  • In-home filming at their pace
  • Integration of photos, keepsakes or footage
  • Professionally edited ~5 minute film
  • Private digital delivery with beautiful gift box and USB included

Common Questions

Everything you need to know
That’s exactly what the first conversation is for — and there’s no obligation. We’ll talk about your loved one, what’s prompting you to do this now, and what you’d love them to say. From there, the right film usually becomes obvious. If you’re unsure, a Life Story Film is the most common starting point.
It’s completely natural to feel nervous before being on camera, but those nerves often fade quickly once the conversation starts. Remember, this is not a performance; I’m genuinely interested in your story, which turns the experience into a relaxed and friendly chat. Most people find that they forget the camera is even there!
Most filming sessions last between 3 and 4 hours, but I always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. The conversation unfolds naturally, allowing us to capture your story authentically. The final edited film typically runs between 60 to 90 minutes.
Absolutely! We can weave in old photographs, letters, videos, and keepsakes throughout your film. These items tell a story of their own, and when combined with your voice, they transform into more than just mementos. These elements add context and depth, they enrich your narrative and bring your memories to life.
Yes. We work with families across New Zealand. Get in touch and we’ll talk through what’s possible for your location.
Every film comes two ways. A secure digital link so it can be watched on any device and shared easily with family near and far — and a beautifully presented gift box with a USB, so there’s something physical to hold, to keep, and to pass down. It’s designed to feel like the keepsake it is.
It’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can give — and one of the most common reasons families come to us. A life story film is something your whole family will watch together for generations. Most people tell us the response from their loved one was far greater than they expected.

It’s rarely too soon, and we’ll always try to make it work whatever the timing. If your loved one is well enough to have a conversation, we can film. We work gently, at whatever pace feels right, and we’ve supported families through some of life’s most tender moments. Please reach out — there’s no obligation, and no pressure.
