What Makes Us Different

  • Seasoned Interviewer

    We’ve led hundreds of interviews and know how to help you express what you truly want to say. Through insightful, guided questions, we’ll draw out your story and capture it with depth, authenticity, and in a way that best reflects who you are.

  • Professional Recording

    Professional audio, lighting, and camera equipment to capture your story in a way that will stand the test of time.

  • Comfortable Setting

    Located in Tigard, Oregon, our studio and backdrop are thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting environment. We are also happy to film in your own home.

  • Crafted with Care

    We lightly edit the interviews and are intentional to remove undesirable moments, bringing our very best to make sure you are represented well.

  • Guided Process

    From the initial form that helps shape your interview, to our custom Interview Guide filled with thoughtful questions and helpful details, we make sure you're well-prepared, confident, and ready for your interview.

  • Passionate Team

    We know the value of documenting stories for those closest to us. Legacy Films is more than a business to us – it’s a way to honor relationships, memories, and legacies. We bring the warmth and care of two people who genuinely believe in what we do.

  • Who is a legacy film for?

    Most of our guests range in age from their 50s to 80s – usually couples or individuals seeking to invest in a meaningful, lasting gift for their family. In some cases, families choose to involve their children or siblings in the interviews, making it a shared experience across generations.

    We often see parents and grandparents create a legacy film as a heartfelt gift for their family – something meaningful that can be cherished for years to come. Likewise, many children choose to gift a legacy film to their parents as a way to honor their stories and words of wisdom.

  • This sounds interesting, but what all is included?

    You will receive the following:

    – Personalized and memorable interviews (three 90-minute sessions), with our experienced host. We’re intentional with our pre-interview process to prepare you.

    – Professional multi-camera video and audio recording.

    – High-quality video of your interviews, lightly edited, with a private link to watch online, download, and share with loved ones.

  • What is the interview schedule like?

    The full-day experience spans 6 hours, with approximately 4.5 hours of on-camera recording, allowing time for breaks, a relaxed pace, and a catered lunch.

    For couples, we typically recommend three interviews: a 90-minute session with each person individually, followed by a 90-minute interview together.

    For individuals, we recommend three separate interview sessions of approximately 90 minutes each, thoughtfully paced throughout the day.

    As with all our films, the structure is flexible and can be tailored to your preferences.
