Why Record an Interview?

A personal documentary is a unique way to share your story with those you love. Each interview experience and video is distinct and will be customized to capture your lived history. Our stories help us to relate to each other and connect to one another. You are living your story, now let me help you share it.

Where Will the Interview(s) Take Place?

In-Person
I have resumed offering limited in-person interviews within a 100-mile radius of San Mateo, CA. I prioritize the safety of all interviewees, myself, and my family by requiring proof of COVID vaccination and booster. I also require a negative COVID test, prior in-person interviews.

Virtual
I am equipped to conduct high-quality virtual interviews. I can help you check your equipment and adjust your settings and lighting before we start. The final product will retain the quality of an in-person interview while allowing you to remain distanced and safe.

Camera Shy and Prefer Audio Only?

I make all recorded interviews as comfortable as possible. The interview is not about the camera. It is about a conversation with someone who is interested in listening to you and your story. That having been said, I am fully equipped to create a high-quality audio keepsake if you prefer to have a camera-free interview experience.

Record Your Story Now

The interview process is highly personalized depending on what you are looking to create. All projects begin with a conversation about your vision and what you are looking for out of this experience. Contact me for more information about interviews and logistics.

Personal Video Packages

I interview you, or a family member, one-on-one. These interviews tend to be more in-depth as they focus on a single person. I guide these interviews based on our initial conversation (e.g. highlight a life history or a specific event).

Whatever the relationship (parents, grandparents, siblings), I begin by interviewing each person separately. I then conduct a short interview with both individuals together. These interviews are then edited to create a cohesive story.

Interviewing families or groups involves a series of shorter interviews. These one-on-one conversations focus on a central theme. They are then edited together to create a cohesive story.

A collection of family, friend, and colleague interviews or toasts can be a moving and unique gift. These tributes are a lasting keepsake of our dearest relations. Play them at celebrations or memorials.

Company Video Package

A spotlight video will show off your organization as a whole. Tell the story of your growth, your impacts, and your dreams for the future. Let a chorus of voices highlight the positive impacts of your company. Play tributes at your next gala or fundraising event.
