Meet the inspiring Sarah Kelly 🌻

Sarah is a devoted mum, wife, and friend who is bravely navigating life with brain cancer.

Sarah is so inspiring that it’s hard to put her story into words - and that’s why we love making films. They tell stories that words alone cannot tell 💛

Earlier this year, Sarah won our Film Nomination competition, and this is the opening of her Time Capsule Film dedicated to her beautiful daughter Esther.

This is the beginning of Sarah’s story. We can’t wait to share more excerpts from Sarah’s film, with her permission, over the coming weeks and we feel truly honoured to be a little part of Sarah’s journey ✨

It's been 2 weeks since our workshop on how to record a life story for free, simply using your smartphone 🤳

The energy in the room during the workshop was electric - the attendees told me after that they couldn't wait to start filming their stories now they had the tools!

However... I know what life is like. You get excited, you make a promise to yourself that you will film something, and then...?

You delay, you procrastinate, you forget. Then ultimately? You regret.

So this is my 2 WEEK post workshop reminder... this weekend, put aside an hour to film YOUR life story!

Let me know in the comments below if you attended the workshop and if you have made any progress filming! And even better - share your interview framing or even some of your film! We would LOVE to see how you're going! 📲

And if you want to check out the Free Guide on how to record your story, you can check it out here - https://www.bigstorieslittlefilms.com.au/resources

Here are 3 reasons why we LOVE it when family come along for filming day 🫶

1. Increases confidence - both in the lead up to filming day and during.

2. Creates NEW treasured memories - filming day is such a fun experience to share!

3. Ensures key stories are captured - make sure your favourite family stories are included in the life story interview so you can keep them forever!

Meanwhile - how gorgeous are these behind-the-scenes moments of Kate with her 87 year old Nan Beverly. Thank you so much for allowing us to share these precious moments 🙏

Imagine giving your own eulogy ✨ ⛪️

What would you say about your own life? What would you want your loved ones to know and how would you like to be remembered?

Our legacy films are all about celebrating LIFE, but when it one day comes to death, you’ll be able to play it at your funeral too 🤍 🕊️

I loved Bronwyn’s answer here. When I asked, ‘Why are you making this film?’ - this was her answer.

Love it!! 💓
