Before we visit
We have a short planning call with you and the person being filmed. Choose a few topics, note anything to leave out and gather your photographs. They can say no to any question.
The afternoon
No script to learn.
No perfect answers.
We’re there to listen. A pause, a change of subject or a second try is all part of a conversation.
Here’s how we spend the time.
Make a little room
Allow about 30 minutes for setup before the interview. A quiet room, two chairs and an outlet are enough. We move the camera to suit the room; you do not need to rearrange the house.
Follow the stories
One interviewer asks the questions and runs the camera. A family member can sit nearby. We pause for tea, repeat a question or finish early if that feels right.
Watch it together
We send a private draft for your review, make the included round of small edits, then deliver the download and USB copies. The film stays yours to share; permission to publish is not part of the booking.
A few doors into a story
Ask about something small.
- What could you see from your childhood bedroom?
- Who taught you to make that recipe?
- What do you remember about your first day at work?
- Who is just outside the edge of this photograph?
Pick two or three that feel right. There is no need to rehearse answers or cover an entire life in one sitting.
Leave room for their version.
Tell us who you would like to film and what would make the afternoon comfortable.
