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.

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.

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.

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.
