"In Your Own Words"
Personal Video Biographies

Living History Is My Passion

I'm Ross Warren. And I remember saying, "I should have written that down" myself. But I never did anything about it until the best storyteller I've ever known, my father, had a stroke and lost his ability to speak. At that moment I knew what my life work would be: to help people capture their stories.

I've always been interested in history, the stories and happenings in the lives of the people around me and the people who have helped shape our nation. I'm a living history re-enactor myself and have worked on a documentary on the American Revolution. My background in still photography, production, and video is extensive and will be invaluable when we explore how to tell your family's story.

Turn your memories into stories, for generations to come!

Everybody has a story to tell. And everyone’s story is interesting and valued when the audience is your own family!

Your Story Matters

Think back to the last time your family was gathered together for a celebration of some kind. I'm willing to bet that at some point you said to yourself, "I really should write that story down before I forget it." Or, "I wish someone had recorded that story." That's why I created Personal Video Biographies. Everybody has a story to tell. And everyone's story is interesting and valued when the audience is your own family. It's the way history has been passed down since man learned to talk! I'll help you capture your own story to pass on to your family so that those stories can be retold again and again.

I’ll Make Telling Your Story Effortless.

In your home, where you're most comfortable, over the course of a few hours, we'll have a conversation about what you love most--your family and friends. There won't be any surprises: This is your story, after all. And we'll be prepared ahead of time with a list of things that I've found folks are most excited to talk about. I'll make copies of any family photos or documents you'd like to include. In just a few weeks you'll have your own thiry- to sixty-minute Personal Video Biography, a living legacy to share with your family. In a world where time is scarce and everybody is scattered all across the county, your family's collected stories, photographs, and movies--your Personal Video Biography--can be the glue that holds your family together, now and on through the generations.

How Your Personal Video Biography Takes Shape:

  • Who was your best friend growing up?
  • Did your family have any pets?
  • Who was the most influential person to you as a child?
  • Is there a teacher you remember from High School?
  • Did you have a teen idol?
  • What was your favorite band or song as a teen?
  • If you could do it all over again, what would you study in college?

Before our conversation, I'll send a list of questions like these. You can choose whichever questions you want. I'm positive we'll have enough to keep us talking for hours.
