Please have a read our Frequently Asked Questions .....
Can I bring a friend or family members to watch my interview?
Yes…we find interviewees relax even more if family or friends are with them to enjoy the day.
How long will my Life Story Interview take?
Our crew will normally complete your interview in two to three hours.
Where will I be interviewed?
You can tell us your story at either our Dorset studios, or in the comfort of your own home.
Please note that travel charges may apply if the location is more than 50 miles from our studios.
Will I need to provide anything else?
Your film can include cherished family photographs, or home movie footage, as long as we have written permission to include anyone featured in those images.
Will my spouse or life partner be included?
Partners may often form a vital part of your life story. The interviews will usually begin with just the gift recipient, but then include partners within the documentary from the time at which you first met them… and onwards through your life together.
Remarkable Lives is an ideal gift for those celebrating a milestone moment, such as a Golden Wedding, in which case the couple are interviewed together.
Do I have control over the finished film?
Yes, you have total control of the finished film. Only you decide which aspects of your life you wish to feature, you will see the programme before the final version is completed, and you have final approval of what is – or is not – included.
Who will See my movie?
The only people who will see your film are you, and anyone with whom YOU wish to share. We will send you a high-quality copy and can also arrange for copies to be sent to anyone you wish. Or you can copy and distribute your film as you wish.
How long will I wait to see my movie?
We normally contact the gift recipient within 7 days to arrange a convenient time for the filming, and the film should be edited and sent to them 14 days after filming is complete.
Can I purchase a film with a Gift Voucher?
Our gift vouchers are available, and valid for one year from the date of purchase.
How much will it cost?
We are offering “Remarkable Lives” film gifts – ordered before the end of January 2025 - at a specially discounted rate of £239 per person or couple.
