How it works
Three steps. No equipment to set up, nothing to edit.
-
1. Easy setup
- YouTell us the occasion and a little about them.
- WeDraft warm, thoughtful questions, ready and waiting — childhood, love, faith, the day everything changed.
- YouLook them over — reword some, drop some, or add your own.
-
2. The call
- WeRing you both on the phone — and provide you an easy-to-use screen, showing clearly the current question and when you're recording.
- YouJust have the conversation. Skip, restart, take your time between questions — whatever it needs.
-
3. The movie
- YouAdd some photos (optional) to bring the recorded voice to life.
- WeAutomagically weave the voices and photos into a high-quality movie.
- YouEnjoy and share.
Before the stories go quiet.
Every family has a keeper of the stories — the one who remembers the crossing, the farm, the name that changed at the border. When they're gone, so are the details, unless someone asks.
Gather the elders, or the whole family on one shared set of questions, and keep the history in the voices that lived it.
Questions worth asking
A few to start from — keep these, change them, or write your own.
- Where did our family come from, and how did we get here?
- What traditions did you grow up with?
- Tell me about your parents and grandparents.
- What's a story about our family that no one else knows?
- What do you hope the next generations never forget?
Keep the history while it's still told.
It starts with one phone call.
