Storious Films specializes in creating personal documentary films. We weave together individuals', families', and organizations' compelling narratives to preserve their legacies.

A personal documentary is a film that tells the story of an individual, a family, or an organization in a narrative, cinematic style. It blends interviews, personal narratives, archival footage, and carefully selected music.

The time it takes to create a documentary varies greatly, depending on the story's complexity, the subjects' availability, and the amount of archival materials. Shorter projects can be completed in as little as six weeks. Longer projects can take several months.

We utilize a combination of newly shot footage, interviews, archival materials such as old photographs or home movies, and, when appropriate, stock footage.

We encourage our clients to be as involved as they wish to be. From initial brainstorming to final edits, your input is invaluable. But we also understand if you prefer to take a hands-off approach and trust our expertise.

Investing in a personal documentary is more than just a financial decision; it's a choice to preserve history, legacy, and personal narratives in a profound and lasting way. Each film at Storious Films is a bespoke creation crafted with care, dedication, and an in-depth understanding of the individuals whose stories we're privileged to tell. Our process involves substantial time spent getting to know our subjects before we even begin shooting. This approach ensures that each film truly captures the essence of the person or people at its heart. Because of this personalized, thorough approach, our services are not inexpensive, but we firmly believe that the value and timeless legacy these films provide far outweigh the cost. Unlike conventional production houses, we do not itemize our services. Instead, we present you with a comprehensive project package. This approach allows us to devote our full attention, resources, and expertise to your story without the distractions of a la carte pricing or up-charges. It is about immersing ourselves into your narrative, undivided, to create a cinematic masterpiece that truly reflects you.
