About Us
CAPTURING LIVES, PRESERVING LEGACIES
A Time Capsule Biography is more than a film. It is a deeply personal experience designed to honor a life as it is remembered by the people who know it best. Whether created for yourself or gifted to someone you care about, each project becomes an heirloom of voice, memory, and meaning.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAPSULE FOR YOUR STORY
Every life has its own arc, its own rhythm, and its own way of being remembered. Each capsule is designed to honor a different kind of journey with intention and care.

Solo Capsule
A cinematic portrait of one life.
The Solo Capsule captures an individual’s story through guided interviews and thoughtful conversation. It is often gifted to parents, grandparents, or mentors as a way to preserve their voice, wisdom, and lived experience for future generations.
Friends and family may be interviewed privately, allowing their reflections to be experienced for the first time when the final film is revealed.
Ideal for:
Legacy gifts, milestone celebrations, personal reflections, and end-of-life documentation.

Couples Capsule
A shared narrative told from two perspectives.
The Couples Capsule celebrates the story two people have built together. It captures love and partnership through private interviews and shared experiences, many of which are designed to be revealed as a surprise in the final film.
Couples Capsules may include curated experiences such as city outings or guided activities designed to spark honest conversation and emotional connection. These moments are filmed discreetly and woven into a cinematic narrative, making this capsule especially meaningful as a gift for anniversaries or Valentine’s Day.
Ideal for:
Anniversaries, engagement gifts, documenting a lifelong partnership, adult children honoring their parents.

Family Capsule
A collective story shaped by the people who share it.
The Family Capsule captures each family member individually and collectively, preserving both personal perspectives and shared history. It is often commissioned as a gift to a family, allowing parents, children, and relatives to hear one another’s reflections for the first time in the finished film.
Ideal for:
Growing families, annual legacy videos, major transitions, children entering formative years.

Professional Capsule
A personal legacy told through the lens of leadership and impact.
The Professional Capsule documents the story behind a career, business, or mission. It is frequently gifted by teams, boards, or families to honor leadership, impact, and legacy beyond titles or accomplishments.

YOUR STORY BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION
Our first step is always listening. Whether through a guided interview or our AI intake app, we begin collecting memories, context, values, and tone. This is not a template. It is a guided collaboration.
You’ll fill out a thoughtful questionnaire to help shape the emotional tone and style of the documentary. You choose whether this project is celebratory, contemplative, raw, or joyful. You control the atmosphere and the voice.

CO-CREATION, GUIDED BY INTENTION
We provide visual reference questions, music palette ideas, and structural storytelling options. Whether the subject is a war veteran, teacher, artist, or entrepreneur, we build the narrative to highlight their essence.
Some families want the entire process to remain private until the funeral. Others wish to create a living record to be enjoyed across generations.
Our team works with families or legal representatives to ensure that any posthumous releases are carried out exactly as intended.

VR AND IMMERSIVE MEMORY
We have added 180° and 360° interview capture to allow family members to re-experience their loved ones in immersive settings. Soon, we will integrate dual-sensor volumetric scanning to preserve full 3D likenesses.

THE TIME CAPSULE
Each project is delivered with a handcrafted physical time capsule:

USB drive with final videos

Printed biography book (adult, teen, and child versions)

Engraved QR card linked to the online legacy page

Optional QR-etched stone for urns or tombstones
This object is made to live on a bookshelf or mantle, passed down or hidden until the right moment. It is as much an heirloom as it is a digital archive.

CAPTURING THE PERSON, NOT JUST THE STORY
Our shoots often span multiple locations such as homes, neighbourhoods, and workplaces. We gather a deep variety of footage: cooking, walking the dog, turning pages of old journals. Every detail adds depth. The three-camera interviews are lit to cinematic standards, with audio mixed for film. The subject is treated like the central figure in a deeply personal documentary.
Contextualizing a Life
EVERY STORY, WITHIN ITS WORLD
We do not just present facts. We present a transformation. With the subject’s permission, we talk about hardships, turning points, and personal growth.
This is not always about perfect people. It is about people who lived, changed, loved, and left their mark.
We aim for honesty, compassion, and clarity while balancing legacy and learning.

Family Capsules
STORIES THAT BRING GENERATIONS TOGETHER
Beyond individuals, we offer full-family sessions. These projects capture snapshots of your entire family, year after year.
Imagine a series titled: The Petersons 2026.
Each installment becomes a record of change, achievement, and growth. These are joyful, evolving capsules that show how lives intertwine over time.

Multi-Generational — Everyone’s story preserved.

Emotional Moments — Genuine connections captured.

Personalized Keepsakes — Films & digital archives.

Timeless Legacy — Stories for future generations.
MEMORY MESSAGES
Included in every package is a private, final video. The “If You’re Watching This…” farewell is recorded in solitude, with no crew present, just the subject, the lens, and their final thoughts for loved ones.
These videos are delivered only after death, when permission and timing allow. They are often the most treasured part of the entire experience.

A MEANINGFUL GIFT, THOUGHTFULLY CREATED
Many Time Capsule projects begin as quiet collaborations. Friends, family, or colleagues participate behind the scenes, sharing stories and reflections that the subject does not hear until the final film is revealed. This element of surprise transforms the experience into something deeply emotional and unforgettable — a gift that shows someone how they are truly seen.
AN INTELLIGENT LEGACY
For those who wish to preserve not just voice but interaction, we offer optional AI avatar creation. These digital representations can answer questions based on real stories, real facts, and the real person behind them.
The narrator of our welcome video is one of our earliest examples, a grandmother immortalized through voice, story, and love.

ONGOING CONNECTION
Each capsule includes a digital legacy page. Photos, videos, writings, and timelines are hosted securely and can be updated with new stories if the family chooses. Each year, families can record new material and expand their capsule. The story does not have to end.
