What people are saying:
“I commissioned Diane to make a personalized documentary of my parents. The first time I watched it, I was very touched by it. Some parts were poignant while other parts were laugh-out-loud-funny. I learned things about them I had never known.”
— Susan Schwarcz,
Chapel Hill, NC
“A personal documentary is a great idea, because even my grown children don’t know who I really am. They know me only as a parent, but I want them to know other dimensions as well.”
— Cheryl Lindhome,
Olean, NY
“I wish today’s technology had been available earlier. I would love to have heard my great-grandparents talking and to have seen them going about their daily lives. As it is, I know their names but very little else. A film like this would have made them come to life for me.”
— Pam Drake,
Chapel Hill, NC
“Diane created a Life Story production for my husband and me. Our story was beautifully told. We enjoyed the interview process, and the film showed us just like we hoped it would. It is an honest sharing of memories and experiences and is just the kind of keepsake we wanted for our children and grandchildren.”
