Grandparents are the keepers of times long past.
They are the holders of culture, traditions, and the history that doesn’t always make the books. They hold warm memories of lives well lived and are deep caverns of wisdom.

A Heritage Film is all about capturing the tales of our elders.
It’s about the grandparents - for the generations to come.
It centres around the heart of who they are and the stories that shaped them.

We interview your family elders as they talk about a simpler time, and pass down their wisdom and the legacy of their family heritage.

The Heritage Film is a way of keeping history colourful and personal, with the wonderful stories and lives of our older generations.

PACKAGES

how much does a heritage film cost in melbourne?
In a culture that forgets the value of our elders, we are sitting at their feet eager to hear their stories. To hear how they've shaped and been shaped by the decades they've graced this world with.
There are two Heritage Packages available that are tailored to accomodate the participant's mobility and age, and the style of film you would like. 

The heart of these packages is about capturing the stories of those most dearest to you. To continue the oral tradition of passing down our history. To capture your family heritage in a timeless, meaningful keepsake.

Each package is per person. For packages including both Grandparents/Parents please get in touch to discuss.

As well as footage of them engaging in any of their favourite activities - knitting, baking, fishing, woodworking, dancing, etc.

FREquently asked questions
Can we split the payment of a Heritage Package between family members?
Yes! This is a great way to share the cost amongst everyone! 
Can there be others around when you are filming?
Filming runs much more smoothly when we're able to keep the noise levels and any distractions to a minimum... therefore we encourage a small, closed set of only necessary adult support people (adult children of the participants and/or support workers). I'm always happy to chat about how we can best support your family members through filming and telling their story! Please do get in touch to discuss any further needs and queries!
I'm worried my Grandparent/Parent  will find it hard to talk for that long.
Keeping your grandparents and parents comfortable is always my highest priority. If they need a break during filming, we'll boil the kettle. If having a family member present to help ask questions is benificial, we'll have someone present.

I’ll also provide a list of questions and prompts prior to the day of filming to give them a bit of thinking time!
Can we book a Heritage Film for both our Grandparents/Parents?
Each Heritage Film package is per person only. If you'd like to have both your grandparents/parents stories filmed, please reach out to discuss how this can work.
How far do you travel?
I live in the beautiful Yarra Valley, Victoria. I often frequent Gippsland and all around Melbourne and have travelled all thoughout Victoria documenting people's stories. Depending on location, some travel fee's may apply, but feel free to enquire no matter where you are.
What if we don’t have children, but want a Heritage film of our parents?
Your parents don’t need to have grandchildren to be a part of a Heritage Film! This can be a special keepsake for you and your siblings also!
