How this story feels

Every family has stories that were never told completely: a photo without a name, an heirloom, a recipe. This film follows such questions, with photos, old objects and the family’s memories. It is made with humor.

Your film story

  • It starts with a family photo or an old heirloom that nobody knows everything about. A small detail on it is the first clue.

  • Then family members tell their side. Grandma tells it differently from Uncle, and a familiar object links the stories.

  • At the end the story gets its place in the family archive. A current family picture shows who passes it on, and one question deliberately stays open.

A piece of your story to keep

Your gift to accompany the film

The memories in the film also become a lasting story you can print and hold.

What to bring with you

Film length
  • For your 1-minute film, around 6–10 varied photos or short clips is a guide.
  • A clear photo of the people who should appear in the film.
  • Old family photos, documents or objects you do not know everything about.
  • Current photos of the people who can tell something about them, and a shared family photo.
  • This story combines personal memories with staged images. The media count is guidance, not a requirement for every scene.
  • Choose your strongest moments for a compact story.
  • No need to sort everything first. Let Videomento suggest pictures or choose yourself. You confirm the selection before production. If a key memory is missing, we will tell you what would help.
