Living Legacy Films
CELEBRATION OF LIFE · LEGACY DOCUMENTARY · PERSONAL MEMOIRS
"I had seen a tribute video that Drew did and felt that he would be able to capture what I wanted in a video of my parents, Aalt and Ena DeVogel. We were all BLOWN AWAY at what Drew created! As we watched, there was laughter and tears and more laughter and periods of silence! We watched it again and again. The real blessing is for the Grand and Great Grand Kids who were just as touched as the adults and maybe even more so. Thank You Drew!!"

Tribute And Legacy Video Portfolio
Regardless of the length or number of interviews, all Living Legacy Films include the best possible combination of the same creative elements. Along with your documentary Snapshot, Short or Feature film, you will also receive an edited film of the best parts of each interview (or separate videos of whichever interviews you choose).
- Beautifully lit, professional, friendly interviews with the star of the film, or with people who know the star best
- Your photos, videos, home movies, newspaper clippings, trophies, memorabilia - whatever helps to tell the story - filmed, photographed or digitized and professionally enhanced
- Shooting new footage that helps to illustrate the story, eg of the family, or a special location filmed with a drone
- Artistically crafted storyline with a creative narrative arc, that is, a beginning, middle and end. (This is the signature feature that differentiates our creative work.)
- Crafted musical underscore that supports and drives the video story and helps to activate an emotional connection with the viewer
- Animated layer effects which help to enhance the mood and create seamless bridges between thematic story segments
- Custom, artistically crafted opener and closer built with layered animation
A Priceless Family Heirloom
Living Legacy Films enable people to celebrate and embrace their personal value and dignity by creatively presenting the highlights of their family history through the medium of documentary film. A deep sense of satisfaction is enjoyed through the experience of sharing these beautiful videos with families, friends and communities.
Are you one of those fortunate people who want the whole world to celebrate with you how amazing your special loved ones were, and still are? Together with other family members, you have a lifetime of heartwarming, moving and funny stories to tell the rest of the world, and we help you turn those memories into a captivating, cinematic story.
Our clients want the highest possible quality of creative excellence in the final production, and the longest possible shelf life. They also want a production that is specially tailored to their own family, yet which is also engaging enough to be enjoyed by people who don't know them at all.
Our films are structured like TV documentaries with a strong opener, an engaging narrative story arc, a well crafted music bed, complex, layered animation of still photos and a variety of other visual elements from multiple sources such as custom Broll and drone footage. This is in contrast to the plain talking head approach that is so often offered by companies offering legacy productions.
The stars who are featured in our films - if they are still alive - are delighted with our productions as a very high honor and token of affection. If the featured heroes are no longer present, they are admired posthumously by their posterity who now have a lasting and valuable resource that teaches them how special their ancestors were.
If you believe in the importance of family and place a high value on a good story with depth and humour crafted into an uplifting balance, then you and our team will enjoy working together. An unexpected benefit that frequently comes from working with our team on a legacy production is a deep catharsis and strengthened bonds between loved ones who are drawn together in the shared purpose of reviving and recording a lifetime of cherished memories. Our promise is that you will gain a deeper, lasting connection with the people you care most about.
Drew Morey Productions
We are a full service video production company founded in 1999, serving corporate, not-for-profit and educational clients. Our passion has always been to tell the human side of every story in the most creative and engaging way possible.
One of the things that makes producing documentary tributes and life celebration videos so rewarding is the freedom to set aside all focus on promotion and branding, and to turn our full attention to the richness of people’s personal histories.
The love and regard of people we interview for their featured hero(ine)s is like jet fuel for the creative process. You can’t script genuine affection and respect; it’s the authenticity of love that energizes each story so effectively. THEIR story is an essential part of YOUR story, and our mission is to help you tell it beautifully.
