History

Established in 2009.

The urge to tell one’s unique story exists in all cultures. Chances are you’ve heard someone say, «I pleaded with my mother to tape record the story of her childhood» or «He’s been with the company from the beginning. We should record him talking about how it grew.» But for many, it is not easy to get started and even harder to complete.

Memories On Video is our alternative. We are committed to helping you create an in-​depth, personal video memoir that captures you telling your story the way you want it to be told. Our experienced interviewers will work with you before, during and after production to make sure that your preferences are our highest priority. The caliber of our recording equipment and professional cinematographers will assure you a high quality document.

Business Owner

I am a clinical psychologist who retired from psychotherapy practice to travel and pursue other work, but I soon missed the personal contact and privilege of talking with people about their lives. One day, on a trip to Buenos Aires, I interviewed a family friend who wanted his incredible story of survival recorded for his grandchildren. He knew I had done oral history interviews of holocaust survivors for Yad Vashem Museum-​Yale University, for what is now called the Spielberg Project. A few weeks later my carpenter – hearing that I did personal oral histories – asked if I would interview him and record his story. He wanted to explain his years as a street urchin in Paraguay to his children and he had tried unsuccessfully to write his story down. Both men were grateful for the experience and the videotapes they made for their loved ones, but I owed them thanks as well. I treasured the experience and realized that I had found a new passion.
