Legacy Videos
Legacy videos preserve the stories, memories, and voices that shape your family history.
Below, you can watch the story of my dad, Nye Stevens. Imagine the story your legacy video would tell.
“It was a condition of life that we became very independent, but not, I would say, a tragedy.” - Nye Stevens
During the pandemic, my daughter I and shared a home with my parents. I took the opportunity to interview my father about his childhood, and to explore the archival materials he has stashed away. These are the first two installements of this legacy video series. Above, in Part 1, my dad describes his early childhood in Albuquerque, NM and Arlington, VA, and the experience of his mother's mental illness.
Part 2 in the life of my dad, Nye Stevens is above. It continues where Part 1 leaves off, following his misadventures in Spokane, WA. Featuring archival footage and music by Woody Guthrie.
Legacy videos can take many forms
Options range from a straightforward oral history to interviews with many people at a family reunion. More complex projects may feature contemporary footage of family life, or archival photos and film.
