Three ways to preserve a life.
Every Legacy House Films engagement is a bespoke biography film production — designed around your story, your family, and the film only you can make.
Half-Day Production · A 20- to 30-Minute Film
The Legacy Interview
Your story, told in your own voice — captured in a single cinematic session.
$7,500 – $15,000
Ideal for someone who wants their story on film — beautifully made, intimately told — without the complexity of a multi-day production. It's the right choice for a milestone birthday gift, a first step, or someone who simply wants their words preserved while there's still time.
We spend the weeks before your shoot in pre-production: a discovery call, a deep conversation about your life, and the careful development of questions designed specifically for you. By the time the camera rolls, you won't feel like you're being interviewed. You'll feel like you're just talking.
The shoot itself is a half-day — unhurried, never rushed. Michael guides the conversation; you simply speak. What emerges is a polished, 20- to 30-minute film that captures not just what happened in your life, but who you are — your voice, your humor, your hard-won perspective.
Your film is delivered privately, color-graded and scored, on a secure platform your family can access from anywhere in the world. An archival USB keepsake is included with every engagement.

Multi-Day Production
The Legacy Story
A full-length cinematic documentary — your life, with all its depth and dimension.
$20,000 – $40,000
For someone with a life that deserves the full treatment. Multiple days of filming. Multiple locations. The kind of documentary that doesn't summarize a life — it inhabits one. This is the choice for people who want their story told completely, without compromise.
Production begins with an extended pre-production process: research, a detailed story outline, and multiple conversations to map the full arc of your life before a single frame is shot. We identify the moments, the people, and the places that define you — and we build the film around them.
Production spans multiple days and may include interviews with family members, b-roll footage at locations meaningful to your story, and the integration of archival photos, home videos, and personal documents. The result is a feature-length biography documentary (45 to 60 minutes) that stands on its own as a work of cinematic storytelling.
Frequently commissioned by adult children as a gift for a parent, or by individuals who have simply decided that their story is worth telling in full. It is the most complete portrait we make.
What's Included
- Extended pre-production: research, story outline, and interview preparation
- Multi-day film shoot — interviews, b-roll, family and location coverage
- Feature-length biography documentary
- Archival photo and home video integration
- Custom original or licensed score
- Optional private screening event coordination
- Private digital delivery and premium archival package
Custom Scope · Travel at Cost
The Family Heritage Edition
A family legacy film told as a multi-generational portrait — multiple voices, multiple locations, one heirloom keepsake.
Starting at $40,000
For families who want to tell their story together. Multiple subjects, multiple generations, multiple locations. This is a film that captures not just one person's life, but the shared experience of a family — its origins, its values, its people.
Our most comprehensive offering — a fully bespoke, white-glove production built around the specific story your family wants to tell. It may span cities, countries, or generations. It may feature grandparents and grandchildren in the same frame. Every element is designed from scratch.
Pre-production is extensive: we spend weeks mapping the family's story, identifying the right subjects, locations, and archival materials, and developing a production plan that honors the full complexity of what you want to preserve. A dedicated project producer manages every detail throughout.
These productions are rare, deeply personal, and unlike anything else a family can commission. They are also the films that get watched — and rewatched — across every generation that inherits them.
What's Included
- Full pre-production and multi-subject story development
- Multi-day, multi-location production
- Feature-length film with ensemble cast of family members
- Archival integration: photos, letters, home footage, documents, and heirlooms
- Custom score and sound design
- Dedicated project producer and white-glove client experience throughout
- Private digital delivery and full archival heritage package

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your production date. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of your completed film. All engagements are custom — final pricing reflects the scope of your project, travel requirements, and production complexity.
Every engagement begins with a complimentary discovery call. No commitment required — just a conversation about what you're hoping to create.
