How it Works?

Generation Studios uses AI to listen as you share your story. In an easy, conversational mode, it asks thoughtful questions, and helps you shape your story into a beautifully crafted short film. And it’s completely free.

Watch the video below to see an example of how it works.

You can take the conversation any direction you want. It can be deeply personal or super lighthearted. And if you ever get stuck you can ask for advice on style, format, scripting tips or just about anything and you’ll get an expert answer.

You can ask about anything and we can help fill in the blanks. If you want more details on what was happening in the world at that time or what kind of camera people would have used to capture this moment, we can help.

At Generation Studios, we turn your family history into a cinematic film, beautifully crafted to reveal the legacy of your family across time and place. Guided by skilled storytellers, and bound by the highest ethical standards, we use advanced AI and film technology to bring your ancestors’ journeys to life with historical accuracy and emotional depth. It’s a quick and easy process that makes sharing and preserving your heritage simple and unforgettable.

Explore your family’s time and place

Upload still photos of people and places

and SEE THEM IN THEIR HISTORICAL CONTEXT

First, Choose your Package

Whether you’re just starting or ready to explore your family’s full story, choose a film length that suits you. For a preview, try our 90-second My First Story package. Or, dive into a more immersive experience with our 5 or 10-minute films, crafted with a level of detail that reveals your family’s story within its historical context. You can always extend your film later—previous payments apply toward the upgrade.

Then, Share your Story

Once you select your package, you can send over important details about your family history. If you have genealogy documents or family records from platforms like Ancestry, we can use them to form the foundation of your story. You’ll also have the chance to upload personal photos of family members or significant places—such as your grandfather’s farmhouse or ancestral home—which we’ll incorporate into the film to bring your story to life.

Our team of screenwriters and directors will craft a unique script based on the information you’ve shared, and we’ll create a film that captures your family’s legacy with emotional depth and cinematic quality. Soon, you’ll receive a beautifully rendered family 4K (high resolution) film that you can treasure and share with loved ones for generations to come.
