One of the best investments that we have made. The entire team was a pleasure to work with. Chance makes you feel like your story is so special. The final product is amazing! I know now that my Grandkids will see and hear my stories.
Thank you, Heritage Film, for making this happen

No surprises! The Heritage team was prepared to deliver everything they promised, and prompted us to remember things we would have never thought of once they understood the purpose of our project. The crew we gathered for interviews felt spoiled. The long-distance interviews looked local (That was a good thing.) And the owners of our site location (borrowed) were surprised at how everything was back in place.

I was very excited about the filming of my mother. Never in a million years did I expect what I got in return ! Chance is an unbelievable, deep interviewer. When I watched for the first time, I realized that I had experienced every emotion known to man. I cried, laughed, thought through things and learned a lot that I never knew about mom. I will cherish this film as long as I live. Then it will be passed on to generations long after me. To Chance and his Entire team, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Chance, my mother enjoyed serving you and Ben her homemade cookies because you both raved about them. She told me later, I think I would adopt those boys! Thank you again from my entire family.

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.

We went through a box of tissues reviewing the film! This is the most remarkable and wonderful thing ever done for us. We both are so humbled by it’s contents. Thank you so much for this priceless gift and act of service to us. It is remarkable.

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.

The team at Heritage Films did a wonderful job with my Father in-law documentary, they went beyond their way to accommodate our requests for editing and complementing the film. A production that we'll be enjoying for the rest of our lives.
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.

I am so happy we decided to do this. Chance was an awesome interviewer and his crew got everything scanned and photographed in one day. The final product was like a watching a biography on tv. Our family will treasure it always

The entire staff from opening inquiry to final delivery of the priceless document is outstanding. We have been wanting to do this for years and finally made it happen. We unveiled at 2022 Thanksgiving and very happy. THANK YOU, Chance and your staff!

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.

Super fun experience, excited to have a high quality video for generations to come. I did this for my parents, going to set up my in laws as a Christmas gift. Chance and the entire team are awesome.

The entire crew was welcoming and felt like family. We were very, very pleased with the entire process and will treasure the film for years!
