One afternoon.
Many times to come.

Travel within 20 miles of Maple Crossing is included. Extra USB copies are $20 each. We agree on any additional travel cost before booking. No subscription is needed to watch your film.

A copy for each branch.

Download the MP4 to a computer and make copies for your family. The two USB drives contain that same file; check that your TV can play MP4 files from a USB drive if you plan to watch there. We do not post the film publicly.

Most films are ready about three weeks after the interview, allowing time for your review. Tell us about a gift date before booking.

A few practical details.

Do you take the photographs away?

No. We scan the selected photographs during the visit and leave the originals with you. Choose loose photos you are comfortable handling; we do not remove pictures from fragile albums.

Can we leave something out?

Yes. Before filming, tell us about any topics to avoid. During your review, you can ask for a story to be removed or a caption to be corrected. One round of small edits is included.

What is the December gift deadline?

For delivery by December 18, 2026, the interview must take place by November 30 and your edit notes must reach us by December 10. We confirm the date before accepting a holiday booking.

Begin with one good story.

You can decide on the photographs and questions together before the visit.
