Capturing Your Story, Honoring Your Journey
We transform life stories into lasting legacy films that can be viewed by generations to come.
About Memoir Mint
Memoir Mint was born from conversations with my grandfather, Larry. His stories—rich with wisdom and quick-witted humor—made me realize the value of preserving personal narratives. I wanted to help others capture their family legacies, ensuring important memories and lessons aren't lost to time. Our mission at Memoir Mint is to create lasting legacy films that enable subjects to inform, inspire, and connect.Brice Handel (Founder, Interviewer)

FAQs
How do you interview the subject? Interviews are conducted in-person at the subject's location. Virtual interviews are possible, but will reduce the quality of audio and video recording.
How far do you travel to interview a subject? Travel within 30 minutes of Ellicott City, MD is free. We will happily travel further, but do require client reimbursement.
How do I receive the finished film? Films are shared via Google Drive, Dropbox, or other cloud-sharing platform that you prefer.
What questions do you ask during the interview? Our goal is for the interview to be conversational. We adapt our questioning to the subject's answers which allows them to tell their story naturally and in full. Through a pre-interview consultation, we'll put together a general outline of topics and questions to cover.
Can I provide questions to ask? Yes. Before the interview, we'll have a 30-minute consultation where we'll talk about the process and you'll be able to provide questions or topics for conversation.
Is there an option for non-English language interviews? Yes, we offer a translation package which ensures your story is captured accurately in your preferred language. This includes a bilingual interviewer and English subtitles overlaid on the final film.
How long does the whole process take? From the start of interviewing to delivery of a finished film takes 4-6 weeks. This timeline depends on travel requirements, scheduling interviews with the subject, and post-production.
Can I interview the subject myself? Yes, a friend or family member can be the interviewer if you'd like. We'll still be there to help guide the conversation and capture the interview.
Does the subject need to prepare for the interview? No preparation is required. However, you should start thinking about the family photos and videos that you would like to integrated into the film. For printed photos, we offer professional scanning for $2/photo.
When do I pay? We require a 50% deposit upfront with the remaining half due upon delivery of the final video memoir.
How do you ensure privacy and confidentiality? You have rights to the raw interview recordings and final legacy film. We never share any information, interview materials, or final films with any third-parties without express written permission from the film subject or a relevant representative.
