WHY IT'S OUR MISSION
We're Inspired By Something That Changed Our Lives
It started for us in 2016 when we decided to make a documentary about our late father. He passed away from cancer when we were kids. We wanted to create something that not only honored him, but also brought together all the people who he impacted throughout his life.
A year later, we interviewed close to 40 people and developed an 80 minute film that brought our father’s story to life. We titled it, "His Legacy".
Since then it's been out mission to tell legacy stories for the next generation.
