Life Story Films across the South Island of New Zealand
Relative Memories can travel throughout the South Island to create documentary-style life story films, legacy films and family history documentaries.
For families living away from our home region, the filming process can still take place in the places that matter most — at home, on family land, in a favourite holiday location or somewhere closely connected to the person's story.

West Coast
Canterbury
Otago
Fiordland
Southland
And surrounding areas...
South Island projects can take us to Christchurch, Nelson, Marlborough, the West Coast, Otago, Southland and other locations depending on the project.
The South Island's landscapes and rural communities can also provide meaningful visual context for family histories, particularly when a person's life is closely connected to a particular property, town or region.

Family History in the South Island of New Zealand
For families with long-standing South Island, connections, a family history documentary can bring together interviews, photographs, old documents, home movies and significant places.
This can be particularly meaningful where multiple generations have lived in the same region or where a family property forms an important part of the story.
Planning a South Island Project
Because travel is involved, South Island projects are planned carefully around filming days, locations, family availability and the amount of material you would like included.
Any travel or accommodation requirements are discussed with you before the project is confirmed.
