The reviews that matter to us
These families worked with Graham on in-person productions. The Time Capsule Kit brings the same editors and the same care to a story you record yourselves.
If you are even considering working with Graham Merten and Time Capsule Productions, do it. What they created for our family is nothing short of extraordinary. Graham and his team spent multiple days with our family, patiently and thoughtfully interviewing each person to capture the full depth of our story. What they ultimately created was not just a video, it was a beautifully crafted, deeply personal documentary that we will treasure forever. This wasn't just a project, it became a legacy piece for our family. Something our children, grandchildren, and generations beyond will be able to watch, learn from, and feel connected to.
Time Capsule Productions created a video for us that will be cherished for generations! Graham was so patient with mom who has dementia, always taking the time to listen and encourage her. Mom sweetly sang You Are My Sunshine on video. Now we will always have that memory. We showed the video to the entire family on Christmas and there was so much laughter, tears and joy in the room. What a treasure!
The video story that Graham Merten and Time Capsule Productions created from our father's life story is a gift that our family will treasure for generations. My parents were nervous at first but Graham instantly made them at ease and their time together flew by. Our strongest recommendation would be for people to reach out to him before the chance to capture memories is gone.
Time Capsule Productions captured the legacy of my grandparents. Our documentary showed the love and hard work that made their farm successful. Thank you for putting 100% of your time and heart into our family.
I've worked with Time Capsule several times and Graham has been an amazing collaborator every step of the way. Time Capsule's videos are always top notch and the stories are always impactful. Not to mention the fact that Graham is just a great guy to work with. He'll go to any length to make sure the video turns out how it's supposed to.

Want a professional film crew to do the filming for you?
Time Capsule Productions, the studio behind the kit, films full documentaries in person. A crew comes to your family, spends the time it takes with each person, and weaves in old photos and home videos. If you want more than a kit can give, this is the way.
