20 years in the making
I founded Lasting Legacy in 2023, as a new way for people to tell stories and remember loved ones through a memorial film.
I have 20 years of experience making short films mainly for businesses and usually in the role of a creative producer/director, but also as an editor, motion graphics designer, and cameraman.
I have always been passionate about telling engaging stories with honesty and personality. As such, I found my voice in making authentic films and short documentaries, notably a series on Illustrator/artists and their process, history and inspirations called “Self Initiated”.
Family we won't forget
In 2022, my family tragically lost five members, including my Dad. The process of going through old photos and documents, writing eulogies, and discussing ways to remember them inspired me to set up Lasting Legacy.
I saw it as an indelible way to memorialise all those photos and videos in albums and saved on phones, or to capture the anecdotes and tales shared at funerals and with old friends.
Keeping it real
From a personal point of view, I wanted to do something to capture my own dad’s story so my children (and potentially theirs) can learn from one day when the time is right.
The idea fit perfectly with my approach to filmmaking, which has always driven by story, brevity, clarity and most importantly authenticity. I’m a big believer in keeping things real, which means (if possible) real people, real commentary and a real narrative. If a story is authentic it'll engage with your audience, make a connection and be remembered.
Lasting Legacy has the potential to be all these things and more.
