Legacy Bio Documentaries
Beautifully filmed long-form interviews or short documentaries that capture the essence of your loved one or personal hero.
Profile grandparents for your children, celebrate your organization’s founder, or commemorate a culture bearer. Depending on budget, interviews can stand alone, or be mixed with photos, home videos, music and more.
Clients can participate in editing or Authentimedia can do it all. We also provide training if someone in your family or organization wants to work alongside us and learn about videography and filmmaking. Interviews can be filmed in our studios, or the location(s) of your choice. We can film your subject doing what they love most. A near carbon-zero company, Authentimedia uses cinema-grade, archival-quality video and audio gear. Final videos can be posted on YouTube or similar as private or public. Please contact scott [at] authentimedia [dot] com to set up your free consultation meeting. Authentimedia’s Scott Burton is an award-winning journalist, interviewer, and documentary filmmaker. He’ll use his skills to sculpt your interview into an interesting and thoughtful story. Perhaps most importantly, he’s fun to work with.
