Photos and written stories are powerful. But they cannot hold a voice, a laugh, a human essence.
After my grandmother Celo passed, I realized her stories were not preserved in a way I could truly pass down to my children.
She helped rebuild post war Germany and even animated for Disney, but so much of who she was lives only in memory.
So I created Lasting Stories
@lasting_stories_media .
We make Life Story Films: guided interviews, customized to each person, woven with photos and meaningful visuals into a cinematic story families can treasure for generations.
Here is the beginning of our first public film featuring Grant Wilson.
He is a veteran, teacher, father, yogi, meditator, husband, and grandparent.
We are calling the film The Long Way Home because he has never stopped learning. That pursuit shaped him through obstacles and seasons of life. Sometimes the long way is the most scenic.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing chapters of this story. Stay tuned for an unforgettable perspective on life.
