Why we do this

Imagine hearing your great-grandparents explain, in their own words, the changes they saw in their lifetime.

The things they cared about. The ways they spent their days. Their character, in the way they talk and what they choose to talk about.

Imagine them showing you around their home and telling you their life story. Not a photograph, not a voice note, but a film. Lit and framed with care, with sound you can lean into, that a child born fifty years from now can sit down and watch.

That is what a Saving Faces archive is. We preserve the memories and characters of your tribe, family or chosen family, for generations to come.

01

Filmed like cinema

Cinema cameras, professional microphones, and light that flatters. Every interview is framed and lit the way we would shoot a film, because it is one.

02

Guided with care

We work sensitively and respectfully. A consultation before the day finds the stories worth telling, and on the day we help people shape them and feel at ease.

03

Made to rewatch

Colour corrected, sound mixed, and edited into films with a shape: a short highlights piece to share, and a longer interview to sit with.

How it works

Three steps, one unhurried day.

1

A conversation first

We start with a video call. Together we identify the most promising topics, agree where to film, and explain how to prepare so the day feels easy.

2

The filming day

We arrive, set up quietly, and film the interview in a place your family feels at home. Depending on the package, we also capture the house and the objects that hold the stories.

3

The films arrive

Within two weeks to a month we colour correct, mix the sound and deliver the complete interview, along with the edited films your package includes.

Ownership

You entirely and exclusively own your footage. Every frame of it.

There are no licences, no subscriptions, and nothing held back. We can make as many copies as you like, for as many people as you like, and the originals are yours to keep for as long as there is someone to watch them.

Get started

Prices start from £349.
