Capture your story in stunning 4K

Why Stories?

As we pursued Becoming Our Age’s mission, exploring rites of passage and ways of growing into responsibility within greater community, both David and Producer Duke heard many stories of longing:

“I wish I could hear my mother’s voice one more time.”

“Grandpa had such amazing stories. I wish he could share them with my kids.”

We have experienced unexpected loss of a family member and watching someone slip away due to cognitive decline.

Stories is here to help you create a beautiful recorded conversation about your unique life experiences to share with your loved ones and preserve these memories for years to come. Video brings you to life unlike any writing or pictures can. It captures your message, your overall affect, tone, and comedic timing.

At this time, we are offering Stories packages out of our studio in Lake Elmo, Minnesota.

Common Questions / FAQ

  • A legacy video or video memoir is a gift of your story to your audience, whether it is an audience of one, an audience of close family members, or even a story you want the entire world to see.

    Video brings you to life unlike any writing or pictures can. It captures your message, your overall affect, tone, and comedic timing.

  • Besides our obviously biased, “everyone,” there are a few types of people who will find value in video memoirs. If you have:

    • proud accomplishments to communicate,

    • family stories to share,

    • children and/or grandchildren spread across the country or globe,

    • medical reasons that may change your ability to tell these stories in the future,

    • a legacy or inheritance of values to communicate.

    To maximize your impact, we advise that you do some planning prior to recording, including answering the next question.

  • David asks this question prior to or during each interview. It is of critical importance.

    Stories videos are often done for children or grandchildren. These young people are later able to hear the maker of the video at their best, at the point of time of recording. Legacy videos help convey values, family stories of struggle (and success) and explorations of where we come from.

    The recordings are also be to shared more broadly on social media to inspire others, advance a cause, build a brand or feel better understood.

  • Whenever David is asked this, he answers, “Do it!”

    If you have a desire to make a legacy video or video memoir, you can do so with a phone or laptop. You just need to be able to answer a few questions:

    • What do I plan to say?

    • Who is the audience for this?

    • How will it be stored and transmitted?

    Stories offers a premium experience. Dedicated studio space, specialized equipment, an experienced interviewer, professional video editing, and knowledge from Luke’s years of experience in Hollywood ensure results. It is for people who value the quality we provide.  

  • We will make a video about this in the near future. It varies based on the intent of the interview and how much preparation was done in advance on the interviewee’s side. Some people come in with an agenda and David walks them through it. Some have wanted to walk through their life chronologically or topically.

    This is also why “Who is it for?” is such an important question. Once we know this, we can tailor the interview to not just the most interesting stories, but the most powerful meaning for the intended viewer.

  • This depends on our current workload. We batch our interviews, and the editing takes time. The delivery will typically be measured in weeks, not days.

  • A lot of the value Stories brings is lessened over video call. Feel free to contact us about your specific desires and we can discuss.
