Gift card for their own film
The couple tell their story themselves – the grandchildren help with the upload.
Example: your story can be this short
“Grandma Margaret and Grandad Ron married in 1976. They met at the village fête, when he pinched a rose from her. Three children, seven grandchildren and tea and cake every Sunday. From the whole family. The ending: ‘50 years – and the rose is still in bloom.’”
A story like this is all we need – we take care of the rest: script, drawings, voices and music.
