A life. a story. a gift unlike anything else.
give them something that truly lasts.
Flowers wilt. Parties fade. But a voice? A story? A moment captured forever? That’s the kind of gift that lives on.
At Jacob Alexander Films, we create cinematic, personal legacy films designed as milestone gifts for the people you love most. Whether it’s a retirement, an 80th birthday, a wedding day message, or just because—they’ll never forget how this gift made them feel.
What is a legacy gift film?
A Legacy Gift Film is a professionally produced, story-driven video created to honor and preserve someone’s life story. It’s a Netflix-style family documentary, designed to celebrate a life while it’s still being lived.
Often commissioned for:
Grandparent legacy videos
80th birthday documentaries
Video gifts for mom or dad
Storytelling gifts for parents
Tribute videos for retirement
Milestone anniversaries or birthdays
Wedding day gifts from children to parents
Generational storytelling videos for growing families
We help you celebrate a life on film—while the person can still enjoy it with you.
Hear the stories. Relive the moments.
The process:
Quiet.
Caring.
Professional.

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 more than a memorial video—it's a story that endures.”
