You don’t get a second chance to preserve your family’s story. Memories fade, our parents’ voices fall silent — and we’re left with fragments and regrets: “I wish I had asked” or “My children won’t remember their grandparents.”
It doesn’t have to be this way.
I’m Arik Shraga, documentary filmmaker and founder of Film a Family. I create Legacy Films — authentic, documentary-style films that preserve your loved ones’ voices, laughter, and life lessons. These aren’t staged videos; they're heartfelt stories told in their own words, filmed with care and compassion.
Each film weaves together:
The experience itself is transformative: families discover stories they’ve never heard, laughter and tears surface, and loved ones feel truly seen. What begins as a conversation becomes an act of love — a chance to connect across generations now, not only preserve the past.
With over 15 years as a humanitarian documentarian for international NGOs, I’ve captured more than a thousand life stories around the world. Now I bring that same compassion and professionalism to guide your family through a warm, simple process:
When stories aren’t captured, they vanish. When you do capture them, the result is more than a film — it’s relief that nothing was lost, pride in your family’s journey, and an heirloom your children and grandchildren will treasure for generations.
