Private Family Filmmaking
Ongoing, discreet film creation for families who want their memories handled with care.
What we are providing
Private Family Filmmaking is a concierge-style service for families who want their personal photos and videos thoughtfully curated into cinematic films over time. Instead of managing one-off projects, this offering provides a long-term creative partner who understands your family, your history, and your preferences.
All films are created from existing photos and personal footage. No events are filmed, no templates are used, and every project is edited by hand with discretion and intent.

What This Service Is
This is not a single montage or a one-time video.
Private Family Filmmaking is an ongoing relationship designed for families with years of photos and videos who want them organized, preserved, and transformed into meaningful films—without having to manage the process themselves.
Projects may include milestone films, seasonal recaps, legacy pieces, or curated edits created quietly in the background as life unfolds.

FAQs
Do you film events as part of this service?
Most films are created from existing photos and personal footage. In select cases, on-site filming can be arranged when it meaningfully supports the project. These engagements are handled discreetly and scoped separately.
Is this a subscription or a contract?
Engagements are flexible. Some clients prefer quarterly or annual structures, while others work on a project-by-project basis. We’ll tailor an approach that fits your needs.
How is privacy handled?
Privacy is central to this service. Secure file sharing is used throughout, NDAs are welcome, and all materials are handled discreetly and confidentially.
Can this include multiple types of films?
Yes. Clients often use this service for milestone films, legacy projects, vacations, memorials, or ongoing family archives—all under one engagement.
Do I need everything organized before starting?
No. Most clients begin with years of unorganized photos and videos. Organization and curation are part of the value of this service.
