Recorded life stories · Shoreline, Washington
The stories only they can tell.
LEGACY_BRAND records your parent telling the story of their life. A professional studio, a comfortable chair, warm light, and your family in the room asking the questions. You keep a finished film, a printed book, their voice, and a way to keep asking them questions for generations.
Chapter One
What your family receives
One recording. Five things your family keeps forever.
Three mornings together
The sessions are the first gift. Your parent settled in a comfortable chair, your family across from them, asking about their life while every word is captured in studio sound. It is a morning your family will talk about for years.
The film
An edited, color graded film of their life story, told chapter by chapter in their own words. Made to be watched together, more than once.
The book
Every session transcribed word for word. Paper outlasts every file format ever invented, and it belongs on a shelf where the grandkids will find it.
Their voice
A voice model built from the clearest moments of the sessions. Not an impression of them. Their actual way of speaking, preserved and owned by your family.
A way to keep asking
A private keepsake your family can talk with. Ask how they met, and it answers in their voice, the way they answered it in the room. It only speaks from what they actually said. Nothing invented, ever.
Chapter Two

Chapter Three
How it works
Tell us about them
You fill out one form. The names in the family, the chapters of their life, anything to steer around, anything to be sure we cover. From that we build the question list, customized to your family, with your names in it.
Three mornings of recording
Sessions run in the morning, when energy and memory are at their best, with real breaks. Your family asks the questions. Our producer keeps everything comfortable and on track. Nothing is recorded that they do not want recorded.
The reveal
We edit the film, print the book, and build the voice and the keepsake. Then your family gets everything, and you watch it together.
Chapter Four
Our promise
This only works if it is done with respect. These rules are not fine print. They are the product.
They are a participant, never a subject
Your parent sees every question before we record, can strike any topic, and can stop at any time. Nothing is kept that they want gone.
It only says what they said
The keepsake is clearly labeled as a recording of their words, not a recreation of them. Every answer comes from the sessions and points back to the moment they said it. If they never talked about something, it says so and stays quiet.
Your family owns everything
The film, the book, the voice, the keepsake. All of it belongs to your family. We keep nothing and use nothing without your written permission.
There is always an off switch
Any time your family wants the voice or the keepsake gone, it is deleted. Completely and permanently. No questions asked.
Chapter Five
Begin
Tell us who you are thinking of.
We will call you back for a short conversation. No pressure in it. If it is a fit, we schedule around your parent's best mornings. If it is not, we will say so.
