Create a life story film

for generations to come

Let our award-winning filmmakers tell your family story

Let's begin

Every person has a story worth preserving.

It is our stories - how a life was lived, the moments that were shared, what was passed on - that endure.

Big Stories Little Films exists to capture those stories with care, depth, and beauty - before they are lost to time.

I’m Danika Armytage, founder and director of Big Stories Little Films. After two decades working as a television producer and director, telling stories for national audiences, I now bring that same documentary craft to shape the stories of individuals, families, and family enterprises across Australia.

We create cinematic life-story films for individuals, couples, and families - from deeply personal life story films, to intergenerational family and business stories - guiding people through a thoughtful, supported process that brings clarity to a life well lived.

These films have profound significance.

And they are made to be watched - and treasured - for generations.

What is a Legacy Film?

A Legacy Film is a like cinematic memoir - but instead of a large writing project it’s a simple to create film
A Legacy Film shares your life story in your own words, filmed in your own home, which is then edited with photos and music (it’s like an Australian Story episode, but about you)
A Legacy Film will become a priceless heirloom to share for generations to come
