"The Feast of Creation"
Community of First Nation Elders
Vancouver Island, BC - 2006 Twenty-two First Nation Elders gathered at Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge to share their stories of healing, survival, and mentorship.
This 85 minute Livestories project is a testament to the strength and humour of these remarkable individuals.
"100 Stories for 100 Years"
Town of Cochrane, Alberta – 2005 A celebration of the joint centennials of the Town of Cochrane and the Province of Alberta...our goal is to gather and record one hundred stories from members of the Cochrane community both past and present. Thanks to the generosity of local and provincial funding organizations, we’re more than halfway there. For more information on this ongoing project (and to become involved as a sponsor) please contact Lone Wolf Theatre now.
"That I Still Possess"
St. Paulus Lutheran Church
San Francisco, California – 2004 The historic and beautiful St. Paulus Church in San Francisco burned to the ground in 1995 after serving as one of the city's pre-eminent landmarks for over a century. This 60-minute Livestories project served as a celebration of what was lost and as an innovative way for members of the congregation to move forward with a new building program.
Testimonials:
"All our family members who have seen the DVD so far have enjoyed it. It has raised some questions, which I’m sure will be brought up for discussion at some future get-together. I do believe that is what you were hoping it would do. For myself it brought tears to my eyes several times throughout!
Thank you so much for your time and efforts on our behalf.
All the best for your business.
Once again many thanks from us both.

Keeping your family's stories alive in two easy sessions:
Session I
The Livestories Creator will meet with you in your home or place of business and guide you through an interview process designed to help you recall and relate memories, insights, and experiences relevant to the story you are seeking to create. This session is recorded on digital audio, and the files are then burned onto a CD (which you are welcome to keep).
The Livestories Creator then reviews the files, and structures a story or series of stories based on the interview. This story outline is then sent back to you, providing you with a simple 'blueprint' of the recording session to follow.
Session II
The Livestories Creator returns to your home or place of business (or wherever else you’d like the story to be recorded) with lights, video camera, and gently guides you through the telling of your story. Invite your family & friends to the session or go it alone… whatever you’re most comfortable with. We video tape you telling your story a couple of times, from different angles and perspectives, then the video footage is edited together your photographs, documents, extant video/film footage, and music. The finished product is burned onto a professionally produced DVD, and is yours to keep and share for years to come.
Other Livestories Programme possibilities include:
unique wedding gifts (collect stories about the bride and groom at the reception and present it as a post-wedding gift)
corporate and company profiles
community events
anniversaries and life celebration memorials
Or
custom design a Livestories Programme to suit your unique needs
