PROCESS

Invitation

We help clients make the invitation for loved ones to participate. From there, we handle all interview scheduling and logistics. Interviews may be in person or remote.

Conversation

We share a list of questions before each interview that will serve as a jumping-off point. Once we sit down together, we guide participants through the memories, stories, silence, discoveries, and all other strange and wonderful humanness that may emerge when speaking about things that matter. Interviews average 45 min to 1 hour.

Celebration

In a careful editing process, we weave interview fragments together into a single narrative underscored with music. We share the final audio product with clients on a secure, password protected webpage to be accessed in perpetuity.

There are many ways we can structure our work together based on your specific needs, but most projects fall into one of two categories.

Living Guest Book

Interviews from a specific event (such as a wedding, graduation, or gala) are woven together to capture meaningful input from a community of people.

  • Maximum of 75 participants

    Roughly seven-minute interviews per participant (twice as long as an average wedding guest will typically spend with a bride or groom!)

    Interviews can be conducted in person at the event venue, digitally in the weeks leading up to the event, or through some combination of the two.

  • $2,500-$5,000* (not including travel and lodging if applicable)

    The exact fee for each project is determined by variables like the length of an event, the number of participants, and your particular turnaround time requirements. After a quick exploratory conversation, we will provide a fee amount for you to review before committing to working together. While we don't offer discounts lower than these ranges, we're happy to facilitate both payment plans and payment from multiple sources.

Audio Heirloom

Interviews collected over several weeks are woven together to tell the story of a life or life experience.

  • Maximum of 12 participants

    About 45-minute interviews per participant.

    Interviews are most often conducted digitally, though in-person is also available.

    Along with the audio product, a document containing the full transcripts of each conversation is delivered; we can also incorporate written submissions in this document from up to 50 participants who were not formally interviewed.

  • $2,500-$5,000* (not including travel and lodging if applicable)

    The exact fee for each project is determined by variables like the length of an event, the number of participants, and your particular turnaround time requirements.
