We built the room we wish every family had.
Founded by Dale and Gillian, and now a team of story producers, interviewers, camera crew and editors. We help families record the stories that matter, properly, before they fade.
It began at a funeral
Listening to a eulogy, it struck us that nobody really knows someone’s whole story. Not even the people closest to them. The only person who truly knows your story is you.
We’d spent years running a podcast studio and recorded well over a thousand episodes for other people. Then one day a couple asked to borrow the studio to record the story of their relationship, just for themselves. That was the moment we knew everyone should be doing this.
Specialists at every step
Behind every film is a team that has recorded well over a thousand long-form conversations: story producers, interviewers, camera and sound crew, editors and a keepsake team.
Story producers
Plan your film with you and look after every detail.
Interviewers
Trained to put people at ease and draw out the real stories.
Camera & sound
Broadcast-quality lighting, cameras and audio, in the studio or at home.
Editors
Turn hours of conversation into a film your family will watch again and again.
Keepsake team
Box, post and archive every film so it lasts for generations.
Specialists
A dedicated, gentle service for legacy messages and families facing illness.
One day you look back and realise you were already in the “good old days”.
We’re always chasing the next milestone. “Once this happens, once we get there, once things slow down.” But as life moves faster, memories fade. Voices change. Details slip. Stories disappear. So we built a space where people can pause long enough to talk about their childhoods, their dreams, their fears, and the moments that made them.
A few things we hold onto
Everyone has a story
Not just the famous or the remarkable. The quiet lives are often the ones with the best stories.
Conversations, not performances
No scripts, no acting. Just a relaxed chat on a comfy sofa, filmed properly.
Your voice matters
Not a eulogy written by someone else. Your story, in your words, the way you’d tell it.
Private by default
Your film belongs to your family. We only ever share a story with your permission.
Made to last
A keepsake box, a family link, and options to keep it safe for decades.
Don’t leave it too late
The best time to ask is now, while the people you love are here to answer.
A cosy room made for unhurried conversations
Our studio is set up like a living room: warm lamps, a comfy sofa, and nobody watching the clock. Or we’ll bring the whole setup to your home.
