OUR STORY
Created due to a conversation we never had
Everstory exists because our grandmother passed away before we thought to sit down and ask her about her life. We're here to make sure that doesn't happen to your family.
HOW WE STARTED
The story that started all other stories
In her mid-sixties, our grandmother passed away unexpectedly. We were still children, not yet old enough for the kinds of conversations where you learn who someone really was. The history, the wisdom, the inside scoop.
We were left with family stories. They're wonderful, but they're incomplete. The little details, the things she never got around to sharing, those are gone.
Years later, as our parents reached that same age, the question hit us: what if this happened again? What would our kids know about them?
That's where Everstory began.
We created something simple. A professional, unhurried interview. Filmed at home, guided with care, and turned into something the family keeps forever.
Life documentaries and legacy keepsakes have always been reserved for the famous. But everyone is someone's favourite person. Someone people would give anything for. Every life deserves to be told and every family deserves to hear it
If this has crossed your mind before, you're not alone. It just rarely feels urgent until it is. We're here when you're ready and we'd love for you to consider this as a sign.
What we believe, and how we work.
WHY EVERSTORY
01
Stories deserve more than a photo album
Photos capture a moment. A filmed interview captures a voice, a laugh, a way of telling a story that can never be replicated. It's the difference between remembering someone and actually hearing them again
02
A conversation, not an interview
We come to your loved one's home, not a studio. Everything is set up before they walk in. The conversation is warm, unhurried and guided so they forget there's a camera in the room at all.
03
Family is part of the film
Before filming, we collect questions and messages from family and friends. They're read aloud on camera, completely unannounced. The moments of surprise and emotion that follow are often the ones families remember most.
05
We handle everything
From the first call to the delivered film, every detail is taken care of. You don't need to prepare anything, plan anything or worry about anything. Just tell us who this is for and we'll take it from there.
06
The time is now
The people who book with us almost always say the same thing afterward: "I wish we'd done this sooner." The families who wait often wish they hadn't. We're here whenever you're ready but we'd gently encourage sooner over later.
04
Made to last, not just to watch once
Every film is professionally edited with music, chapter markers and family photos woven through. It's delivered in a format designed to be shared at Christmas, replayed on anniversaries and passed down to grandchildren.
Everstory exists because every person has a story worth preserving and the families left behind are the ones who feel that most. We're not a production company chasing volume. We take on a small number of interviews at a time because each one deserves full attention.
That attention starts well before we show up. We talk to family and friends, learn what matters, understand who this person really is. By the time we sit down with them they're relaxed, they feel seen and the camera is the last thing on their mind. That's when the real stories come out. The ones they've never told anyone.
We're based in Auckland and we come to you.
