Testimonials

Don't take our word for it

“Something Real for My Family”

I wanted to share my story with my grandkids. Something they could return to. The film turned out so beautifully, I’m already planning the next ones for my dad and my friends.

Cindy

“It Felt Like Us”

We didn’t just want wedding photos. We wanted our story told. Every frame felt personal and captured who we really are.

“Now It’s a Tradition”

Our Tofino vacation film has become something we rewatch every year. The piece about my brother fishing is something I’ll treasure forever.

Al + Maurine

“Decades in One Film”

You took all our old tapes, photos, and home videos and turned them into a beautiful family film. We watch it together every year and it’s become a part of us.

FAQ

What we’re asked

Do you only make legacy films in Vancouver, or can you travel?

While we’re proudly based in Vancouver, B.C., we work with clients across Canada and can travel to you for filming. We also offer remote interview options for long-distance families or time-sensitive projects. Whether you’re in Burnaby, Surrey, Toronto, or abroad, we can help preserve your story.

How does the legacy film process work?

We start with a free discovery call to understand your story and goals. Then we schedule an in-person or virtual interview session, professionally filmed and gently guided by our experienced team. After filming, we edit the footage into a beautiful, shareable film with music, photos, and optional subtitles. We handle everything — from production to final delivery.

Who is Kahani Legacy Films for?

Our legacy storytelling service is perfect for families in Vancouver and across Canada who want to preserve the life story of a loved one — whether it’s a parent, grandparent, or yourself. We work with people of all ages and backgrounds to create something heartfelt, authentic, and cinematic.

How much does a legacy video cost in Vancouver?

Legacy film pricing varies depending on the length, filming days, and whether you want a standalone video or an episodic series. At Kahani Pictures, our packages typically start around $5,000 and can be customized to fit your vision. We serve families across the Lower Mainland and beyond, and consultations are always free.

What is a legacy film and why should I make one?

A legacy film is a professionally produced documentary that captures your story, memories, and life lessons on camera. It’s a meaningful way to preserve your voice and values for future generations. Whether you’re in Vancouver or beyond, it’s a timeless gift for your family that becomes more valuable with time.
