A Life Captured & Carried Forward

Evergreen Memoirs creates intimate video portraits that preserve the stories, voices, laughter and wisdom that make a person unmistakably themselves, before the opportunity is gone.

Through thoughtful conversation, carefully chosen photographs and archival material, and beautifully edited interviews, we create films meant to be shared with the people you love - now and for generations to come.

Based in Southern California. Available worldwide.

Getting to Know You

Building Your Story

Bringing it Together

Before we ever turn on a camera, we spend time talking about how you see your life, what matters most to you, the stories you want remembered, and how you hope the people you love will remember you.

There are no standard questions or format. Every interview is shaped around the person and the story being told.

Next comes gathering the pieces that help bring your story to life: photographs, home movies, letters, recordings, music, and other meaningful media.

You might also consider bringing on a spouse, child, sibling, lifelong friend, or anyone whose perspective brings another dimension into the interview.

After filming, all elements are thoughtfully woven into a finished film. With years of editing and storytelling experience, I turn a collection of memories into a compelling, immersive story.

You’ll have the opportunity to review the film and request changes before it is finalized. Nothing is complete until it feels right to you.

How It Works

The Interview

The goal is to create a comfortable environment where you can settle in, forget about the camera, and simply talk. There is nothing to memorize and no pressure to perform.

The conversation is gently guided, while giving memories and stories the space to unfold naturally.

Remember

Preserve

Connect

The finished result is more than a record of what happened. It is a film that preserves the personality, humor, relationships, wisdom, and moments that made a life uniquely yours.

You'll receive a professionally edited legacy film, delivered digitally for easy viewing, sharing, and safekeeping.

Each project is customized for the final deliverables agreed on before filming begins.

With your permission, select Evergreen Memoirs films may become part of a growing public collection of life stories — allowing one person's experiences, humor, wisdom, and perspective to reach people they may never meet. Because some stories are meant to travel further.

Remembering Well, Until the End

Sometimes the desire to preserve a life becomes especially important near the end of one. The end of life is also a pivotal time for reflection.

Evergreen Memoirs provides compassionate death doula support and bedside companionship for individuals and families navigating the final chapter of life.

Ruby’s interviews don't just record your story. They take the time to understand how you want to be remembered.
