How it works

You have the conversations. We handle everything else.

1. We plan

We talk with you and your family about the stories that matter most to preserve, and craft custom interview questions for each family.

2. We film

A relaxed, professionally filmed conversation in your home or a meaningful place — 4K, pro lighting and sound.

3. We deliver

We edit it into a keepsake film and deliver it to a private digital showcase, ready to share for generations.

Sean, founder of Memoria Films
A note from our founder

Hi, I'm Sean.

I started Memoria Films because there are stories I wish I had of my grandmother that I'll never get a chance to hear. She passed when I was 16 years old. I want to help others avoid my fate with the gift of a couple simple conversations.

Common questions

How does the process work?
It starts with a free 15-minute discovery call to choose the right approach. Then a planning conversation where we learn the stories that matter most, followed by the filmed interview in your home. We handle all editing and deliver your finished film in 4–6 weeks.
What if my parent is camera-shy?
It's our most common concern — and it's never been a problem. We create a comfortable, conversational environment, and most people forget the camera is there within 20 minutes.
How is this different from StoryWorth or Remento?
Both send weekly prompts and leave your loved one to answer on their own — by writing, or by recording on a phone — and both end up as a book. Remento's book text is rewritten from the recording by their Speech-to-Story tool, with QR codes linking back to the original audio. What neither includes is a person in the room: someone who has researched their life and asks the follow-up question that draws out the story they'd never have thought to tell. That's what we do — and you end up with a film of them telling it, in their own voice, exactly as they said it.
Can't I just record this on my phone?
You can — but most families never get around to it, or end up with footage they don't know what to do with. We draw out stories a family member might never hear, then handle editing, music, and delivery so you actually end up with a finished film.
What's the difference between a biography and a Chapter Session?
A video biography is an in-depth, one-time film of a loved one's whole life. The Chapter Session is a lighter, $599 one-hour conversation about your own life — a single chapter you can capture whenever the moment feels right.
Is there really a rush?
It never feels like the "right" time — but the families who reach out most urgently are the ones who waited. Health and memory change faster than we expect. This is one of those things people rarely regret doing early, but often regret putting off.
