Living Legacy Films That Record Their Story In Their Own Voice
We record their stories while they are here to share them, preserving their voice and the memories they want to pass on. We guide a filmed conversation at their pace and weave in the family photographs that tell the rest. Story Films start at $4,999.
Your first call starts with the person whose story you want to keep. We explain the options and costs before you decide.
Hear Their Memories As They Remember Them
You may know the photograph without knowing what happened that day. A living legacy film gives them room to tell you. Your family can return to their words and hear the familiar details that make the story theirs.
We Guide The Film From The First Call
Tell Us About Them
Start with a free call about the person and the story you want to keep. Your Family Care Lead explains the film options and confirms the costs before you book.
Plan A Story Day Around Them
We agree on a comfortable place to film and prepare questions around their life. During the visit, we allow time for breaks and follow their willingness to continue. If shorter visits would help, we discuss that when planning.
Receive Their Finished Film
We edit the conversation and selected family material into the film you chose. Your Family Care Lead keeps you informed through final delivery.
Every Film Begins With Their Story
Every living legacy film starts with them telling their own life in their own words, filmed at their pace across a reserved Story Day, with the family photos and home videos that matter woven in. That is the Story Film. When a family wants the fuller picture, the Life Story Documentary adds interviews with the people who knew them, the places that shaped them, and a deeper archive. One tells their story. The other surrounds it.

Anyone With A Story The Family Should Never Lose
Someone with a life worth telling. A parent or grandparent whose stories the family does not want to lose.
A loved one facing a terminal diagnosis, while there is still time.
A family reaching for the memories before memory loss takes them further out of reach.
A veteran whose service the family only ever half knew.
Their Voice & Their Stories, Kept For Good
Their stories and their voice, captured while they can still tell them.
The whole person comes through, in their own telling and the memories of those who love them.
Their old photos and home videos woven in, and digitized if they need it.
A calm, unhurried Story Day, guided from start to finish, with breaks whenever they need them.
A finished film your whole family opens from anywhere and keeps for life.
One day now, so a grandchild who never meets them can still hear their voice.
The One Tribute They Get To Hear Themselves
This is the one tribute the person actually receives. They get to say what matters in their own words, and hear what they meant to the people they love while it still lands. Later, it becomes the thing your family reaches for. When you miss them, you will have them on screen, telling their stories and looking right at you, for as long as you want.
Experienced Filmmakers Who Follow Their Lead
Evermark exists because of the ones we did not record. When our founder's grandfather died in 1992, no one had filmed anything, and she has watched his face, his voice, and his laugh go soft in memory ever since, with nothing she can do about it now.
She built the company she went looking for and could not find. Kat's background in commercial photography and film shapes how we capture and edit each story, and Brandy brings sound engineering and multi-camera production experience.
Brandy's experience in behavioral health and grief work also informs how we listen and respect personal boundaries. During a visit, our role is to record their story with care. The person being filmed chooses what they want to share and can pause or stop whenever they wish.
Kat has spent her career in commercial photography, video, and marketing, telling visual stories one client at a time, and she holds every living legacy film to the professional standard she has worked at for years. She is also the reason Evermark exists. She knows firsthand what it costs to lose someone and have nothing of their voice left, and she built this so your family would not have to.
Dr. Biglow is the reason the room feels safe and the reason it sounds right. She is a Doctor of Behavioral Health and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than twelve years in trauma and grief work. She sits with people gently and helps their story come out without pressure, even on a hard day.
She also spent years as a sound engineer and multi-camera lead for live services, so their voice, the thing families most wish they had kept, is captured the way it deserves to be.
One Film Your Family Keeps For Good
A finished film, edited and scored, delivered to a permanent online page your whole family can open from anywhere and download to keep. Years from now, when a grandchild who never got to meet them wants to know who they were, it is one link away.
Their film and its online page stay online for life at no further cost. Nobody in your family gets an email years from now asking them to pay again to keep it.

The Best Time To Do This Is While It Is Still A Good Day
Waiting is the one thing that cannot be undone. When the stories go, they go for good. Book a free call and we will walk you through how a Story Day works, what it costs, and how to bring it up with your person so it feels like an honor. A real person answers, and the first thing we ask about is them.
Questions About Your Living Legacy Film
Answers for families thinking about a living legacy film, and for the people who will be in front of the camera. If yours is not here, ask us on your first call.
What is a living legacy film?
A living legacy film is a professionally filmed and edited record of someone telling their life story in their own words, recorded while they are here to share it. Evermark combines the conversation with selected family photographs and home videos to create a film their family can revisit.
It might include their stories and family history, the lessons they want to pass on, and messages to the people they love. If your loved one has already passed, our Memorial Tribute Films bring their photographs, recordings, and messages from family and friends together instead.
Who is a living legacy film for?
Someone with a life worth telling, who would rather say it themselves than be talked about later. A parent or grandparent whose stories the family does not want to lose. A loved one facing a diagnosis or memory loss, while there is still time. A veteran, a matriarch, the person who holds the family together. And you, if the story worth keeping is your own.
Do they need to prepare anything?
They can arrive as themselves. We learn about their life beforehand and guide the conversation with questions prepared for them. Family members can help gather photographs or home videos they would like us to review.
How long is a Story Day?
We reserve a Story Day for the agreed filming rather than selling the interview by the hour. We plan time for breaks and confirm the schedule before booking. If shorter visits would be more comfortable, we discuss the arrangements with you.
What if my loved one is not comfortable on camera?
Tell us before the visit so we can plan around their concerns. We explain the setup and let them choose what they want to discuss. They can pause or stop whenever they wish.
Is it too soon, or does it feel morbid?
It usually feels like the opposite. Doing it now, while they are well enough to enjoy being asked, turns it into a good day spent telling stories, and it gives your family something to return to for years.
What if they have memory loss or tire easily?
We discuss their needs with you before planning a visit. A shorter conversation may suit them better. Family members can contribute memories, and existing recordings may help tell the story. What we can make depends on the material available and what they are comfortable sharing.
Can we record them ourselves?
Yes. A phone recording can preserve something meaningful, and we have done it ourselves in a pinch. Professional filming gives you help guiding the conversation, recording clear sound, and editing the material into a finished story. It also lets you spend the visit with them while we handle the recording.
Can we use old photographs and home videos?
Yes. You may submit family material for review, and we select what best supports the film. We confirm which digitization work is included before booking. Larger archives or specialty formats may require a separate quote.
Can both of my parents be in one film?
Yes. The $4,999 Story Film can feature one person or one couple in a shared film, with no couple surcharge. We discuss additional filming or a larger documentary with you if their story needs a broader scope.
What do we receive, and how long do we keep it?
A finished film, edited and scored, on a permanent online page your whole family can open from anywhere, with download instructions so you can keep your own copy. The Story Film is delivered 2 to 3 weeks after filming, and the Life Story Documentary 4 to 6 weeks after the final filming session. The page stays online for life at no further cost.
How much does a living legacy film cost?
The Story Film costs $4,999 and includes one reserved Story Day with a finished film typically 25 to 35 minutes long and one round of revisions. The Life Story Documentary costs $8,999 and includes up to two Story Days, substantial loved-one interviews, and a documentary typically 45 to 60 minutes long, plus a 3 to 5 minute heirloom film and two rounds of revisions. We help you choose on a free first call.
Can I arrange a living legacy film for myself?
Yes. You can record your own living legacy film to leave your story for the family who comes after, and to say the things you want remembered in your own voice. Tell us what matters to you, and we build the day around you.
Where do you film?
We are based in Florida and plan visits across the state. Tell us where the person would like to be filmed so we can confirm availability. For locations outside Florida, ask us about travel.
