One Month and a Few Days

After one month and a few days, John Porter’s Living History is finished. It was really a wonderful experience to put together this film. It is not as linear as other projects we have worked on since John has worn multiple hats throughout his life. Careers in the Army, finance, higher education, and service in church have filled his life with so many good moments to share. Because of how rich with experiences his life has been, we were asked by his family to include as many moments as possible in the final film. I hope that John and his family enjoy watching this 4 hour and 30 minute masterpiece! What a life story, John! Kendra and I both agree that you could be a professional narrator. Such an ability to tell stories!

I believe that I left this film feeling a greater sense of what it means to walk by faith. You have lived your life lead by inspiration. What a terrific example you are to your family and friends. It was great to document your life and I am certain your family will treasure these stories for years to come.

Our Journey Begins with a Wonderful Family!

Last summer, we decided to create a video biography of Kendra’s grandmother. It was a long and extensive project that resulted in a truly beautiful film. To see the expression on her face as we shared those memories with her family members made it worth the hours of filming and editing!

At the beginning of the month we received a call from Emily. She asked us to visit with her Dad in Mesa Arizona. We quickly learned that the Porter Family has a lot to be proud of! Thank you, Emily, for introducing us to your father. He has lived an amazing life. We were able to visit with him for two marathon sessions for a total of about 15 hours of interviews… he was a champ. What a phenomenal life of faith, family, and service to country. We cannot wait to finish his film and hope you have a wonderful time sharing that with your family.

It has been a blessing to start down this road of personalized biography films. We cannot wait to see where this adventure takes us next!
