What is a Video Memoir?
In a Video Memoir (or Video Biography) you tell the story of your life during a relaxed and natural conversation with a skilled interviewer or close family member.
The conversation is captured on videotape and can later be edited for fluency and dramatic effect.
The conversation can be enhanced with old photographs, music and other media including public domain materials.
We help you make your story into a compelling video documentary .
