Stories that family never knew
We create the kind of conversation where the real stories come out. The ones that have never been told before.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The stories you don't capture,
disappear.
Think about the person in your family who holds all the stories. The sacrifices made, the lessons learned the hard way, the wisdom earned over a lifetime.
None of it is written down. It lives only in their memory.
When they go, it goes with them.
Everstory exists to make sure that doesn't happen. We sit with your loved one, guide them through their life and capture it on film. A chance for them to tell their story and a gift for every generation after them to know exactly who they were.

HOW IT WORKS
A thoughtful process,
from first call to final film.
1
Discovery Call
A free 15-minute conversation to understand who we're celebrating and what this film means to your family. We'll talk through tone, timing, and what makes them one of a kind.
3
Deep Dive
A 45 to 60 minute conversation to gather the real detail, the stories, the texture, the moments worth capturing. This is where the film starts to take shape.
4
Family & Friends Input
Loved ones contribute questions, memories, and personal messages to be read aloud on camera. From there a 90-minute interview plan is approved by the organiser before film day.
5
Film Day
We arrive, set up, and guide your loved one through their story at a relaxed, unhurried pace. They simply talk and we take care of everything else.
6
Legacy, Delivered
Your finished film and book are ready within four to six weeks. Edited, crafted, and yours to watch together whenever the moment feels right.

Family Research
The organiser submits the themes, subjects, and context that matter most. This becomes the foundation everything else is built on, so nothing important gets left out.
"There were stories I'd never heard before. Things about her past which gives context to the way she is, full of heartfelt messages, tears of joy and sadness. An eye opening experience and something my kids can watch one day

“A genuine and caring team that delivers on their promises. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out throughout the entire project. We’ve recommended them to a family and friend already.
Angela Kershaw★★★★★
“Creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The level of communication was highly appreciated and the final outcome was even better than we imagined. A great experience all around”
Taina Maddigan-Ould★★★★★
"I wasn't sure my dad would go for it. He's not someone who talks about himself easily. But watching him open up on camera about things I'd never heard before was something I'll never forget. Worth every cent”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common to have for an experience as unique as this
-
Most of our subjects are between 65–90 years old. The service is typically gifted by adult children or grandchildren who want to capture a parent or grandparent's story. We also work with anyone who wants to preserve their own legac
-
We come to you. The family home is usually the most natural and meaningful setting. We can also film at a location that holds significance — a garden, a family property, or anywhere meaningful.
-
Almost every subject is nervous at first. Our interviewers are skilled at creating warmth and ease. 100% of our subjects have said they are glad they did it. We start gently and let the conversation unfold naturally.
-
We aim to deliver the final edited film within 4–6 weeks of the interview day. Book production takes a further 2–4 weeks for printing and delivery.
-
Yes - we are a New Zealand company and currently serve the Auckland region. We are expanding to other regions shortly. If you're outside Auckland, get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate.
-
It's possible, and some families prefer it. We've found, however, that subjects often open up more when loved ones aren't in the room. Some stories, lessons, and moments are difficult to share with family watching. Having just the subject and the interviewer creates a sense of privacy that tends to bring out the most honest, meaningful parts of a person's life
