“People are hungry for stories.
It’s part of our very being.
Storytelling is a form of
history, of immortality too.
It goes from one generation to
another.” — Studs Terkel
...in your own words
...with the help of a professional interviewer
...preserved on archival DVDs
...as a gift to your loved ones
and to the future
Why Share Your Stories?
Our Approach
Your stories are your life. From the family
stories that only you know, to key moments
that shaped you along the way, your
personal history is unique. Whatever your
stage of life, there are many who would
love to hear your reminiscences, and there
is no better person to tell those stories than
you. And you’ll be surprised how many
people will be fascinated to hear your
stories right now!
A unique feature of Memories On Video
is the experience of our interviewers
and their capacity to interact with the
storyteller to create a vivid, true portrait.
• Preserve family stories and history;
preserve the history of your company or institution.
Sergio Rothstein, Ph.D.
An Incredibly Unique and Special Gift
A Memories On Video interview is an ideal
gift for someone very special to you.
• Record first-hand accounts of historical
events and experiences.
• Your spouse—imagine this as an
anniversary gift!
• Honor the people you care about.
• Your parents—show them your love,
and capture their important stories
for you, your children and future
generations.
• Explore what you have learned and
believe in—make an ethical will.
• Create a family heirloom that will be
passed down through the years.
• Your children—help them preserve their
youthful memories.
• Give this to a good friend—how good
would you feel if they gave this to you?
People often take their own adventures
for granted. They may not realize the
importance of their stories, but this gift
shows you care about their whole life.
“I wasn’t sure I would be good
at this, and then things just
unfolded. And I was surprised—
this was very useful to me
personally.” — MOV Interviewee
“I hope your interview will be an interesting
and informative conversation with you
in which you can be yourself, despite the
camera. It should capture those things that
matter most to you.”
Joan Lavender, Psy.D.
“Let’s work collaboratively to find your best
way of telling your story. I’ll work with you
to stay on track, help you deepen your story,
and make the process comfortable for you,
and valuable to you.”
Cal Sutliff
“Coaching and supporting are key words in
my approach. People have all they need in
terms of information. They may need help in focusing, or in relaxing, or to be helped
with suggestions at some points. Whatever it takes.”
