Legacy films

A voice. A story. A memory that lasts forever.

Because One Day,

Someone Will Want to Know Who You Were

At Jacob Alexander Films, we believe the most powerful stories are the ones passed down.

Our Legacy Films are deeply personal, interview-based documentaries that preserve a person’s life story, wisdom, voice, and presence in a cinematic, emotionally rich format. Whether it’s a gift for your children or a record of a grandparent’s journey—this is more than a video. It’s a legacy, preserved on film.

What Is a Legacy Film?

A Legacy Film is a professionally crafted, personal documentary—created through in-home video interviews, thoughtful storytelling, and cinematic editing.

It’s a way to:

  • Capture the life story of someone you love

  • Preserve family history and ancestral roots

  • Honor a parent or grandparent with a timeless legacy video keepsake

  • Share memories, lessons, and moments that define a life

Whether you call it a personal documentary, a video memoir, or an heirloom film, it serves the same purpose: to ensure your story, your voice, and your legacy live on.

Hear the stories. Relive the moments.

what our process

looks like

  •  We learn about the person and the story you want to preserve. We’ll work with you or your family to plan the interview and structure.

  •  We spend a few hours capturing an authentic, guided conversation—focused on life experiences, values, memories, and messages for future generations.

  • We offer the chance to walk through the home or meaningful spaces, capturing visual context for your story.

  • We combine storytelling, voice, light, and music to create a polished, emotional film—delivered digitally.

“This is heirloom video production designed to last for generations.”
