Their Story, Made Simple.

Pick the chapters, upload the photographs and book a video call. Your Storyteller handles everything else.

How it works

Four simple steps, from your kitchen table.

No special equipment, no deadlines to rush. Most families finish in an evening or two, often with a few phone calls to the cousins. Here is exactly what you’ll see.

01 Start here

Tell us whose story it is, and choose its chapters.

Start with the person the film is about. Then tap the chapters that belong in their life, from where it began to the grandchildren. Add one of your own if it’s missing.

02 Step

Add a few key facts, or let us improvise.

Names, places and dates give each chapter its shape: where they were born, who they married, the grandchildren’s names. Fill in what you know. For any chapter, one tap lets your Storyteller shape it from the photographs instead.

03 Step

Fill each chapter with photographs.

Add photos straight from your phone into the chapter they belong to. Old prints are perfect, and a two-minute guide shows you how to capture them. Tap any photo to leave a note. Notes are welcome, never required.

04 Step

Book your video call.

Send everything to your Storyteller, then choose a time to talk: 30, 60 or 90 minutes, whatever suits you. They’ll have read every chapter before you meet.
