Why a Legacy Documentary
Legacy documentaries not only preserve your legacy for future generations, but they also bring people together. They spark conversations and bridge gaps. They’re a way to celebrate your journey with those you love. They create a lasting tribute that binds your loved ones with shared history and shared pride.
We Were Inspired By Something That Changed Our Lives
It started for us in 2016 when we decided to make a documentary about our late father. He passed away from cancer when we were kids. We wanted to create something that not only honored him, but also brought together all the people who he impacted throughout his life.
A year later, we interviewed close to 40 people and developed an 80 minute film that brought our father’s story to life. We titled it, His Legacy.
His Legacy
His Legacy: the Rise, Ride And Last Stand of the Oakdale Colts was our first documentary that we made about our father’s dedication to youth and the sport of baseball prior to his passing in 2009. It was an emotional journey, and pretty raw as it was our first movie, but we came to realize how powerful documentary film can be, and how it resonates with everyone in a little different way.
