Laughter first. Happy tears by the end.
What we do with the videos
Every video, woven into one story.
We watch every clip and find the moments that matter: the joke that makes the room laugh, the memory nobody had heard, the line that brings the tears. Then we cut them into a film with a beginning, a middle and an ending that lands.
"Forty years, and you still make each other laugh."

Questions
Good to know.
Did not find it?
Ask us anything. A person reads every question.
Ask a questionDo the people I invite need an app or an account?
No. They open a link, tap Record and talk. It works in the browser on any phone. They can also upload a video they already have.
What does it cost the people I invite?
Nothing. Only you pay, and only when the videos are in.
How many people?
From 3 to 60. Around 15 to 30 makes the best film. Each person can send up to five videos, any length; a four-minute ramble is fine, we find the good twenty seconds.
How long does it take?
You set the deadline for collecting; we suggest 7 to 10 days. Your trailer is ready within a day after that, the film within three. The book prints after you approve its proof: 4 to 5 business days to print, then 2 to 5 days in the mail.
When do I pay?
When the videos are in and your trailer is ready. You choose Film or Film + Book then. Nothing is charged before.
Can I add videos and photos I already have?
Yes, on your gift's page, any time before the deadline. You can also start your gift with only your own clips and invite nobody.
What if someone sends late?
Extend the deadline from your page, or add their clip after delivery and we cut a new version.
What languages?
Any. Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, French and more are transcribed and captioned; tell us the language per person when you add them.
Can we use our own song?
Yes, if you have the rights to it. Otherwise we pick from a licensed library by the mood you choose.
Can I change the edit?
Yes. Tell us in plain words what to move, drop or keep whole. Two rounds of changes are free.
How long can we watch it?
Forever. We keep the finished film, the trailer and every message behind the book's QR codes for good. Only the raw uploads are deleted, 30 days after delivery.
Who sees the videos?
Only you, the people you share the film with, our editing pipeline and one person who checks the cut. Every link is private. Uploads are deleted 30 days after delivery; the finished film stays yours. Our privacy promise.
