Some families have photographs. Yours could have proof.
We take the photographs your family already loves and bring them gently to life — a short film with narration and an original score, premiered privately for the people who belong in it.
Meet the Bennetts
A sample film, made from still photographs alone.
The Bennetts are a fictional family, created to show what is possible with yours.
“You approve every face before anything moves.”
That is the promise the whole service stands on. Nothing is animated until you have seen the pictures and said the faces are right.
STEP ONE
Send your photographs
Five to fifteen photographs, and a page of facts — names, dates, the stories behind the pictures. Front or three-quarter faces hold best; we will tell you honestly what each photo can do.
STEP TWO
Approve the stills
We compose the scenes and send them to you first. When you say the faces are right — and only then — the film is made: motion, narration, and an original score.
STEP THREE
The premiere
Your film arrives as a private screening page, with guest passes you can send to family anywhere. Watch it together, wherever you all are.

The house rules
Your photographs stay yours. Send only photographs you have the right to use. We never post, share, or reuse them — your film is private by default.
Honest pictures. Clear, front-facing photographs hold best in motion; a side view may soften. We will always tell you before, not after.
About a week. Most films are ready within a week of your stills approval. Tributes for a service date come first — tell us the date.
Made by people. Every film is composed, approved, and finished by hand — that is why faces hold.
