Q: What else do I need to know? Kinwood clients have cherished the opportunity to leave the memories and stories of a loved one. Kinwood enables clients to do something meaningful to honour an important life. Most importantly, clients LOVE the final product. Q: But I don’t want to talk on camera. Kinwood creates a warm and safe space to share personal feelings and stories. Kinwood will ask you thoughtful questions so you can share your reflections without preparing or pressure. Our editors only use selected interview clips making sure everyone looks and sounds their best. Q: What else needs to be done? We need photos of your loved one – the more the better. If you have cell phone video, or other home videos we can use that too. You pick 4-10 speakers, and Kinwood will reach out and take care of everything. We will also digitize paper photos for the project. Q: Can I play the film at a Service or Celebration of Life? Yes! Kinwood films and film clips have been the foundation for numerous Celebration of Life events. A Kinwood film can be a great way to unite guests and recognize the details of the life being celebrated. You can also shoot a film at a Celebration of Life. Q:Tell me more about your studio?
