YOUR STORY. FOREVER.
Cinematic films about people’s lives, across the UK
What is Everseed?
Everseed captures your story, in your words.
We talk about you. I guide you through a conversation, talking about your childhood, your family, love, work, and everything that happened along the way to paint a picture of who you are.
There are no right or wrong answers, because this is your story, told by you.
I take that conversation and weave it together with photos and videos to create a cinematic film about your life, in your words, kept forever.
This isn’t just a legacy, it’s your laugh, your smile and all those things that make you the individual you are, captured not just for now, but for every generation that follows.
Every film is bespoke and the service can be tailored to match your every need and request. Simply ask, and I’ll make sure your film is exactly yours.
Films are delivered privately, stored securely, and can come in an engraved oak box that you and the family keeps forever.
I’m based in Hampshire and make films with people and families of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances across the UK.

Who it's for.
Everseed films can be made for you, or for someone you love.
Maybe you want to tell your own story, or you might have a loved one whose story you want to capture while you can.
Either way, the idea is simple:
Everyone has a story worth telling, because everyone has a story.
Your questions, answered.
What is a life story film?
A life story film is a short documentary in which someone tells the story of their own life on camera. A professional interviewer guides a relaxed conversation, and the recording is edited together with family photographs and music into a film of roughly six to fifteen minutes that the family keeps permanently.

Yes, in the earlier stages. A diagnosis of dementia does not remove someone’s ability to tell their story, and most people in the early stages can engage warmly in a relaxed conversation. Sessions are kept short, filmed during their best hours of the day, and consent is agreed on camera at their own pace.

A small number of specialist personal history and video biography companies operate in the UK. Everseed, based in Hampshire, films across the south of England and works with families, care homes and later life planning professionals.
How long does a life story film take to make?
Filming is a single relaxed conversation of around 90 minutes to two hours, with breaks, usually in the person’s own home or care home. The finished film is delivered within two to four weeks, depending on the package.
