Documenting My Grandparents

As a documentarian, I believe it’s essential to preserve one’s own history and background.

Wrapped a ~2 year in-depth archival process/project with a (2) day docu-style production with my grandparents, in July.

I was intentional about reconnecting in a close way post-COVID, and worked diligently with them on capturing their stories and archiving troves of family history.

Grateful for the experience & learnings. Not sure what, if anything, I’ll do with what we captured. But grateful for the peace of mind that this history is stored and forever accessible for myself & future generations.
