Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

We currently offer three options: An interview with an individual, an interview with a couple, and our premium concierge service — the creation of a legacy documentary for either an individual or a couple. 

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form and we’ll respond within 48 hours to set up a time to talk you through the next steps. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have along the way.

What makes you different?

We care about families and the stories that shape them. As a small media company, we try to make the process easy, clear, and genuinely collaborative. Being trusted to capture someone’s life journey is a tremendous honor, and we’re grateful for every family who has let us be part of that work.

What is the timeline for producing an interview or a documentary?

An interview can be set up, completed and delivered within a 48-hour period. A documentary is more complex to produce and may take months — if not a year — to be finished.

Why are the costs for an interview versus a documentary so different?

An interview is generally more affordable because it’s output is a raw video file. A full legacy documentary requires much more planning, filming, research and production work, which makes it a larger investment.

How come you closed in September of 2024?

In short, we trusted people we shouldn’t have, and it hurt financially and emotionally. It was a painful lesson. We’re doing our best to move forward with more care, clearer boundaries, and a better sense of who we let into our work.

Do you still offer any physical products like the custom USB drives or gift boxes?

No. In order to reduce costs, we removed that option and deliver content 100% digitally.

My family made a Vimory® documentary prior to 2025. Can I still get a copy of it?

Yes. We have multiple archives of all the Vimory® projects and are able to share a digital copy with you.
