Expert on Family Narratives | Legacy Filmmaker | Founder

I had the very same conversation with a family last week that I have had dozens of times. The experience inspired me to write this article. Adult children often ask us: "How can we best approach our family members (e.g. our elders) about the idea of filming their stories?" They feel unsure, nervous even. My answer is never: "Tell them it's a gift" but rather nearly the opposite. I hope this short, power-packed article helps you or your clients better understand how to think about, frame and present the priceless opportunity of capturing family stories and history on film. #wisdom #familylegacy #familystories #familyhistory #legacy #familywealth #generationalwealth #uhnw #mfo

Oh yes, that message! “You matter to me and to our entire family, including those yet to be born.” What a powerful sentiment, and one that shifts the focus away from mortality and towards legacy. Wonderful piece, Jamie!

Thanks for this article, Jamie. A valuable reminder that the true beneficiaries of legacy video projects are the grandchildren and future family generations to come.
