If you are reading this, it is because you trust that your story has value. Or maybe it is the story of your parent or grandparent. Our personal histories have the power to inspire, teach and heal future generations. Zora Neale Hurston said, "There is no agony like an untold story inside you." She knew. There is also no tragedy like losing a loved one without hearing his or her story. 

Our professional documentary films are for families who want to leave more than a two demensional legacy. Personal documentaries can include filmed interviews with a subject, photos, vintage family footage, music and much more. Our films are 60+ minutes in length and are devided into chapters for easy viewing all at once or in segments. Though our films are meant for private use, everything we produce is broadcast quality. The only way to appreciate the quality is to watch a sample chapter.  Watch a Sample.

The Benefits:

• Create an intergenerational bond between your children and grandchildren.
• Leave an immortal record.
• Avoid the pain that the loss of this record would cause.
• Make your loved one happy by meeting one of their deepest human needs: to be listened to and understood.

The Difference:

Why Memoirs Ink and not any other person with a video camera?

• Memoirs Ink documentaries are the same quality as big budget feature films. We shoot in high definition with the best cameras and the best lenses. Our footage has the rich quality of film, as opposed to the everything-in-focus technicolor of digital video.
• Our cinematographer knows how to frame a shot, and knows how to expose it. Lighting is everything.
• Editing is everything, too. We use multiple camera angles, photos, old family footage, music and other media to tell your story visually, as well as in your words. Our editors are professional. They have worked on feature films, commercials, music videos, and at last found a happy place making documentaries.
• Memoirs Ink is not Hollywood. Our background is in story. Our love is for people. We've partnered with a few talented others who have generations of experience in Hollywood, but who haven't lost touch with their inner nerd.
• Our mission is to document personal and family histories. We aren't making music videos on the side. We don't do corporate videos. We don't do weddings. We preserve family legacies.
• Satisfaction guarantee. We fully guarantee our work. If you aren't happy, we'll keep working till you are satisfied or refund your money.

Memoirs Ink takes a limited number of projects per year, but we welcome all calls and queries. Call and tell us more about your story.
