Isn't your family history worth sharing in a way that will last forever?

Legacy Multimedia is dedicated to preserving history in artfully-produced, custom-crafted tribute videos.

We are talented storytellers who have mastered the art of cutting-edge technology. Using classic filmmaking techniques and the latest digital tools, we seamlessly weave together vintage photos, old footage, and audio tracks with interviews, voice-over narrations, music, animations, and titles.

The result is a wonderful tapestry of images and sounds that share memories, impart wisdom, and mark history to inform, entertain and inspire - today and for many years to come.

Never satisfied to simply communicate information and record content, we also capture the spirit of a person, the unifying force of a group and the atmosphere of an event.

The shared experience of researching, creating and watching these timeless DVDs brings families closer together. It can also strengthen the human bonds of companies and organizations.

So if you want to honor or celebrate a special person or occasion in a very special way, give us a call or send us an e-mail. We’re always happy to hear from you.

The Salt Of The Earth – about Sebastião Salgado

The Salt Of The Earth – about Sebastião Salgado

Last week I watched the documentary “The Salt of the Earth” about documentary photographer Sebastião Salgado. This is one of those films that I can’t stop thinking about, which is a good thing.

For those that aren’t familiar with Salgado’s work, he is a Brazilian photojournalist and social photographer that has traveled the world photographing indigenous cultures and the social effects of major geo-political actions on these…

“I wish I had met you…”

Posted on January 31, 2015 at 11:44am 0 Comments

For the past few weeks I have been involved in a back and forth phone tag with a potential client.

Each time he’s called me, I returned the call, and each time I called, he was  busy and told me he would get back to me. A couple weeks ago he asked me to send him some more information about my work so I sent him a flyer, and links to several video clips and testimonials. But we never actually had “the conversation” about…

“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.”  — Banksy

While this quote was directly attributed to the graffiti artist Banksy, the sentiment is not his alone and appears all over the place, attributed to…

Alicia Elkort’s Poetic Memoir Of Our Grandparents – “Apricot Preserves”

Posted on November 7, 2014 at 12:21pm 0 Comments

My grandmother used to make these amazing cookies for special occasions. They are called Franz Joseph Cookies and supposedly took their name from the famous Emperor of Austria. I’m not really sure the back story on how my grandma got this recipe but it was a family favorite and one that had great pomp and circumstance around the making of the cookies. She resisted giving the recipe to anyone for many years and finally when she was well into her late 80s, she gave me the recipe. When I make…

I just took a look at my blog this morning and realized it’s been almost 4 months since I wrote anything. My commitment has always been to try for twice a month and I have alerts set on my calendar to remind me of that commitment.

I think that after finishing my documentary and screening it at the end of May, I was just pretty wiped…

Sunday May 18, 2014 was the first public screening of my documentary, “Martin Elkort: An American Mirror” at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It showed to a crowd of about 200 people, which is an terrific turn out for an early Sunday evening, on a graduation weekend.

"The secret of biography resides in finding the link between talent and achievement. A biography seems irrelevant if it doesn’t discover the overlap between what the individual did and the life that made this possible. Without discovering that, you have shapeless happenings and gossip."
