Let us turn your life story into a film to treasure forever

Turn the Big Stories of your life into an unforgettable Little Film

Big Stories Little Films create legacy films all over Australia. Put simply, we turn life stories into beautiful, short documentary films.

Whether you want to record your story or commission a film as a gift, turn big stories that matter most into an invaluable little film to treasure for generations.

What is a Legacy Film?

  • A Legacy Film is a like cinematic memoir - but instead of a large writing project it’s a simple to create film

  • A Legacy Film shares your life story in your own words, filmed in your own home, which is then edited with photos and music (it’s like an Australian Story episode, but about you)

  • A Legacy Film will become a priceless heirloom to share for generations to come

For when you want to…

Preserve family history

We take your treasured family stories and photos and craft them into a cinematic film told by you in your own home.
