Since you all finished I have had more time to reflect about what we did the last couple days. Getting ready was fun, but the actual shoot was even better.
I suppose we all have a little “ham” in us and enjoy the spotlight, up to a point. But the way the filming went was so laid back it was easy to overcome any stage fright and be able to engage in the conversation with little or no worry.
I especially appreciate the kindness and schedule modifications you made to accommodate my wife’s energy limitations. Her anxiety was quickly erased, and she enjoyed the entire process.
My takeaway is that the film will be available for some years to come for those who follow. But the immediate benefits weren’t obvious until we got into the preparation stage. I was astonished at the photos we had on hand; the old documents left by our ancestors. I found some genealogy that I had no knowledge of up to that point. Very enjoyable.

The whole process of making a memory for our children was better than imagined. Chance made us feel so comfortable, and his technical staff was very professional and accommodating. We would hope anyone wanting to leave an important legacy would try this unique company.

Amazing experience with Chance and his team. We wanted to capture my Husband’s moms life to share through generations. She was very hesitant but once she talked to Chance she was completely at ease. Our only regret is that we didn’t do this for his dad, he passed in 2014. We will be doing this for ourselves and my parents. Thank you Heritage Films, forever grateful!

My parents are absolutely amazing. They are like the quiet professionals who will get things done silently with style, grace, and humility; and then never be recognized for their efforts. They should win some sort of reward for the efforts they always give. It is just that they never will. What is far more important, they would never, ever, ask for any recognition.

I have always thought that the true mark of a good person was someone who did the right thing, even when nobody was around to observe. That is my parents.

I guess part of this exercise was to recognize my parents and thank them for who they are and for all they have ever given. I love them.

Thank you so much for doing this project!

Knocked it out of the park!
Chance and the gang were absolutely awesome to work with. Chance definitely has a special touch in eliciting a story from anyone. Chance is the perfect person to work with in getting a loved one to open up and tell their story.
I cannot say enough great things about the final product and its impact on myself, my siblings, family, friends and grandchildren for generations to come.
For anyone considering getting a Heritage film done about their loved one; I would say to "DO IT and DO IT NOW!"
The longer you wait the more you will regret not having done it sooner.

Thanks Chance and the Heritage Films Team

We were finally able to get the family together this past Saturday and the film was truly amazing. I heard stories I had never heard from each of them. My father is a very private man and he was extremely apprehensive about having a stranger come into his home and question him about his life. Dad won’t even allow us to hire them a housekeeper because he is so uncomfortable with people that he doesn’t know. However, Chance put him at ease and elicited laughter and tears as Dad shared stories I had never heard - and emotions that I had never seen regarding the difficulties his family experienced during the Great Depression. My dad recently gave me his father’s old carpenter’s tool box and now it means so much more to me because of what it meant to their survival. I don’t think that I have ever seen my dad hug another man outside of his family, but as Chance was leaving after their film session my dad gave him a hug and thanked him.

You have captured his personality, demeanor, and cadence. I was reminded of how many people in his life are gone and how precious every day is. Praise God for you all and your talents. I am forever in your debt. Your film reminds me to be thankful and appreciative of each and every day. My kids and grandkids are going to be eternally grateful.

I write you today to thank you for the great work on our film as well as the film we made with my dad the very next day. Although we had never met prior to that day it was like talking to an old friend. The way you and you staff are like family within minutes of meeting makes for a very comfortable setting. The way we all laughed together at my dumb stories and some of the stories my dad told was very enjoyable. Annie was a BIG help getting me through the
preparation process. Not knowing what to expect she made it very easy.
Again, Thanks and I would highly recommend to anyone that would like to preserve their family legacy on film to defiantly use your company.
