What do you give someone who has everything?
Another watch. Another trip. Another bottle they'll never open. Your parents have spent a lifetime collecting things. What they rarely get is an afternoon of someone listening to them.
Order by Friday, December 18 and we'll hand-deliver your keepsake box in Vancouver before Christmas.
A gift for them, and for everyone who comes after.
For a 70th or 80th birthday, a golden anniversary, or simply because it's time. We sit down with your parents, ask the questions you never got around to asking, and make a film your family will keep for generations.
Choose a commission
An afternoon with one parent, a full day with both, or the whole family story. Not sure? We'll help you decide on a short call.
We prepare the gift
Your gift certificate is presented with a printed letter in a keepsake box, ready to give. In Vancouver, we hand-deliver it if you order by December 18.
We take it from there
A relaxed chat with them beforehand, a small, quiet crew at their home, and a finished film premiered with the whole family watching.
Gift certificates for any commission
The Conversation
An unhurried afternoon at home with Mom or Dad, captured with the same care as every HEIR film.
The Portrait
Mom, Dad, or both, telling their story in their own words, filmed beautifully while they can still tell it.
The Legacy Commission
Your parents, your siblings, even the grandkids asking the questions. The whole family story, in one film.
Shared between siblings
Most families share the cost. Between three of you, The Portrait is $2,500 each, and we can invoice each of you separately.
Half to book, half on delivery
A 50% deposit reserves your filming date. The balance is due when you receive your finished film.
Your parents will never ask you to do this.
They'd never want the fuss. That's exactly why it's up to you. Tell us a little about them and we'll call to talk it through, privately and with no obligation.
