Get Your Loved One's Memories Professionally Recorded onto a DVD
INSIDER
TIP: Preserve an aging loved one’s life story or ethical will with a professionally filmed and edited video interview.
 Often illness or aging of a parent causes adult children to realize the significance of their parents’ lives and how much they want to preserve their love ones’ life story. Bridget Poizner, founder of Save Their Story, helps families do just that—as she specializes in interviewing people and capturing their family histories and ethical wills in a video format. Although Poizner is based in San Diego, she travels all over the country to interview her clients.
Interviews, which cost between $400–650, can run from 50-100 minutes long and include light editing of the video, 2 DVD copies along with 30-day online audio storage of the interview. The company also offers tribute interviews, filming of family reunions and taping of ethical wills. All interviews are available in audio-only formats too. Before the interview all clients are given questionnaires, covering general biographical information, so that they can focus their thoughts and decide what they would like the interview to include.
The real power of Save Their Story is two-fold: many times a person might feel more comfortable talking about their life history with someone unrelated to them. The person may want the information of their past or their feelings communicated, but not actually have to face a person and tell them. Additionally, it can provide a sense of closure to those diagnosed with degenerative diseases that affect memory or the ability to communicate, such as Alzheimer’s, ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or Parkinson’s so that they can relay information to their loved ones. During a recent phone interview, Poizner pointed out that many of her clients have Alzheimer’s and that through the magic of editing she can edit out the portions where a person’s memory falters and leave in the sections when they are animated and have clear recollections. Poizner’s counseling background makes her especially adept at ensuring that all videos are enjoyable and what her clients want.
