Record life today
to enjoy on film tomorrow
Our Time Capsule Films let you hold onto this precious moment — forever.
Life isn’t just something to record in your later years - the great memories are the ones in the middle of life.
That’s why we created the Time Capsule film. This film is for people who want to record the precious moments happening today, to look back on, like a time capsule, in the years to come.
What is a Time Capsule Film?
A Time Capsule Film is a beautifully crafted, short documentary film created in your home, telling your story today.
It includes an interview telling your story, additional moments captured around the home, then it is edited with cherished family photos and music to make a priceless time capsule film for years to come.
Who should create a Time Capsule Film?
A Time Capsule Film is perfect for:
Parents who want to capture the magic of life with young children before they grow up.
Midlife milestones — birthdays, anniversaries, engagements or simply marking who you are today.
Those who are unwell and want to create a film to celebrate their life story today.
Anyone who wants to pause time, celebrate this season of life, and preserve it for future generations.
Watch Sarah’s story
The inspiration behind our Time Capsule Film package is Sarah Kelly, an inspirational woman living with brain cancer. Sarah was the winner of a 2025 competition we ran, for people to nominate someone to receive a free film.
Her husband Steve nominated her. They wanted to record Sarah’s life story so their daughter Esther could watch the film in years to come.
At 40, Sarah was enjoying a good quality of life. They wanted this film to act like a time capsule — so that in future years, the family could look back and remember their beautiful family moments.
This was the inspiration behind our Time Capsule Films: an opportunity to freeze time in the midst of your life, to celebrate the precious moments of today, and to look back on them tomorrow.

Testimonial
“I was so grateful for the opportunity to create my time capsule video. The collaboration and generosity of Danika’s time was so special, and I think this helped me create something I feel is ‘me’ and what I was hoping for. I’m so glad we have this film to share with my family - especially our daughter.”
