We sit with people and turn their memories into short films.
We sit with people and turn their memories into short films.
When my brother passed away at 24, I wanted more than photographs and old cellphone videos to experience him again. I wanted to hear him tell his best lame joke, see the way he used to pull his face when he's impressed with himself and listen to him ramble on about football news. The same when my grandparents passed away. The sense of belonging by discovering things about them that you resonate with.
Remember, all of us were once crazy young people with stories and lives that someone would love to hear about.
Meet Lara, a vibrant artist raised by matriarchal women to always fight for the good and just. After receiving a cancer diagnoses giving her 6-12 months to live, she is told no fighting will help. This is her film for her kids.
Watch the film →We create cinematic documentary films capturing the nostalgic, the funny, and the real people you know as mom, dad, nana or pop, brother, sister or the friend that became family. No script, just them with their small habits, stories and quirks. A film of them, for you and the grandkids that might not meet them.
This is not about big crews and flashy cameras, this is about documenting you in your safe spaces. 2 Cameras, a microphone and your best memories. I'll provide guidance for the dialogue to flow naturally, but ultimately what's used and what's cut is up to you. We also take some portraits of you. Don't worry if you're shy, they turn out to be the best ones. Come as you are here in the present and as you'll be remembered.
Remember Me was born out of the lifelong passion of documenting people. It slowly shifted over time from a passion project to create films of people who inspire, to something deeply personal after having dealt with grief in a big way. The yellow crayon is to always remember to enjoy life with the excitement of a child.
No script and no crew of ten. Just a process built to hold something true.
We start with a casual conversation and questions that open a story up.
No rules for how you show up — a glass of whiskey, a cup of tea, in the garden, or at your favourite place. Come as you are.
Old photos, voicemails, home videos, handwriting — anything that hold sentimental value for you. Consider my whatsapp chat your diary, jot your thoughts and send that voicenote at 3am when you can't sleep.
Filming happens as life does. We film while we talk and any scenes that will help shape the story. We create something short enough to watch often, and true enough to trust.
Delivered as a film in a cloud drive to store as a private archive, and on Youtube so it outlasts any one device.
