About Us

We produce life story videos of you or your loved ones to pass down to future generations.

We don’t know how long our senior loved ones will be with us, and they have so many stories to tell. Before they’re lost forever, Family History Studio™ captures and preserves the storyteller’s precious memories through spirited, in-depth video interviews.

And!

We shoot additional footage of the storyteller and bring to life old photos/slides, home movies and videos, mementos, etc., and expertly weave them into the video to enhance their story.

Under the expanding family history umbrella, we also produce short milestone bios for family members at various stages in life – graduations, wedding couples, anniversaries, retirements, and more!

How We Got Started

Family History Studio Founder and Documentary Filmmaker James Howard has produced his own documentaries in Canada, Mainland China, Taiwan and Central America.

He has shot for the CBC and Beijing Television; has produced several promotional, educational and short biography videos, including an award-winning environmental short in Beijing he narrated entirely in Mandarin.

But it’s the two biography videos he did of his father and grandmother that hold the most meaning to him.

Now, at Family History Studio, he uses his experience and expertise to bring the same joy and meaning to you and your family.
