Ideas, not customers: these people are invented and the covers were drawn for this page.

What you actually receive

A film with chapters. Not a slideshow.

Twenty to sixty photos, a story that holds together, captions, a score, and a narrator who knows which photo each line is about. Four to eight minutes.

Chapter 2 · Captain by Sheer Volume
It opens like a filmA title, and one line about who it is for.
Every chapter has a cardThe year and the place, in the film's own type.
It ends on the whole lifeEvery chapter at a glance before the last scene.

Every frame here is from Captain of 3rd Main, our sample film. Aditya is a character we invented and his photographs were generated, so no real family appears in our marketing. Watch the whole film →

The part people remember

Play it when they walk in.

Choose the day the link opens. Before then it only says that someone made something for them. Send it on WhatsApp, cast it to the TV, or put it on the wall, and the cousins abroad can open the same link at the same minute.

  • A private link, with a passcode if you want one
  • Captions on, so it works in a loud room
  • Download the MP4 to keep

A film for Aditya

Opens on 17 October 2026

Someone made something for this day. Come back then.

Before

A film about Aditya

Captain of 3rd Main

On the day

Three steps. No editing.

You never see a timeline.

  1. 1

    Add the photographs

    Twenty to sixty photos from your phone or a folder. We read the dates and find the earliest one.

  2. 2

    Tell us about them

    A guided interview, by voice or text, in your language. Three good answers are enough to begin.

  3. 3

    Approve the story

    Read the outline, hear the narrator, pick the tone. Then we write, record, score and cut.

A quieter film

For someone you miss.

The same care at a slower pace: questions written for remembering, a quieter score and an archival look, and a link that only the people you send it to can open, with a passcode if you want one.

Questions people ask

How long does it take?
Personal films are usually ready to preview about fifteen minutes after payment. Corporate films take up to an hour because of the 4K masters and extra languages.
Is it a slideshow?
No. We write a story with chapters from your answers, a narrator reads it, a score is composed under it, and each photo appears while the line about it is spoken. You never see a timeline.
What happens to my photos?
They are private, used only to make your film, and the originals are deleted thirty days after delivery. Faces are only used to frame shots; nothing biometric is stored.
Who is the narrator?
You choose. Indian English voices come first, with British and American voices too, and you can hear each one say a line in their name before you pay. Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu narration is also available, one language per film.
What if I don't like it?
You get two revisions in plain words, like “make the second chapter shorter”. If the film fails our quality checks twice, you get your money back in full.
