MY NAME IS JOEY MCFARLAND. UPON GRADUATING FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PORTLAND IN 2001 I WORKED IN DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCTION. I MOVED TO TELLURIDE IN 2006 AND WORKED AT THE HOTEL TELLURIDE FOR 6 YEARS HOWEVER I MISSED THE CREATIVE CHALLENGE OF MAKING FILMS SO FOUNDED ‘LIFESTORIES’.
A ‘LIFESTORIES’ FILM IS A SNAPSHOT OF A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE. A SHORT FILM WHICH DOCUMENTS EVERYDAY EVENTS. MOM AND DAUGHTER GO TO THE LIBRARY, MOM AND SON BAKE COOKIES, DAD AND KIDS WALK TO THE PARK, ETC. (SEE THE LINK ON THE TOP RIGHT FOR FIFTY GREAT VIDEO IDEAS.) FILMS CAPTURE THE FACES, THE VOICES, AND THE PERSONALITIES OF OUR LOVED ONES AT A SPECIFIC MOMENT IN YOUR HISTORY. A MOMENT PRESERVED ON FILM WHICH BECOMES MORE SPECIAL WITH EACH PASSING YEAR. AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR PETS! THESE VIDEOS ARE GREAT FOR OUR CANINE CHILDREN AS WELL:)
IN ADDITION TO THIS SLICE-OF-LIFE APPROACH, WE OFFER ORAL HISTORY FILMS AS WELL. I FILM A CONVERSATION WITH A FAMILY MEMBER, A GRANDPARENT, FOR EXAMPLE, ASKING THEM TO DESCRIBE MEMORIES OF THEIR OWN CHILDHOOD, OF THEIR OWN PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS. WHAT WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY GREW UP IN LIKE? DESCRIBE A FAVORITE FAMILY TRIP FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD. WHAT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF BEING A PARENT? THESE CONVERSATIONS PRESENT A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESERVE FAMILY HISTORY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
ORIGINAL MUSIC IS PRODUCED FOR ‘LIFESTORIES’ BY ‘STOVETOPSTUFF!’ OUT OF PORTLAND, OREGON.
A ONE-MAN CREW, I AM ABLE TO GET THE FOOTAGE WITH LITTLE IMPACT ON YOUR DAY. I SPEND A COUPLE HOURS WITH YOU AND THEN GET TO WORK EDITING THE FOOTAGE. TURNAROUND TIME IS ROUGHLY ONE WEEK. YOU WILL RECEIVE THREE DVD COPIES AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST IN POSTING THEM TO FACEBOOK ETC. PART OF WHAT MAKES THESE SO SPECIAL IS BEING ABLE TO SHARE THEM SO EASILY ONLINE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO MAY LIVE FAR AWAY.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING,
JOEY MCFARLAND
