Boutique family film studio
Your moments,
retold as a film.
The story was always there — in the clips on your phone, the voice memos, the videos nobody has opened in years. We gather them and give them back to you as a film your family will sit down and watch together.
Private, access-controlled library
Professional human editors
Yours to keep, forever
Three steps, and the rest is ours.
01
Send us your clips
You upload to a private, access-controlled project library. Phone videos, screen recordings, voice memos, and photographs — all welcome.
02
An editor shapes the story
A real human editor watches every clip, finds the thread, and builds a film around it. Never automated, never templated.
03
You receive a family film
Delivered digitally on a private page to stream, plus a downloadable master that is yours to keep forever. A keepsake USB is available as an add-on.
Films we're asked for most
Every film is built from scratch around your footage. These are simply the stories families bring us again and again.
Baby's First Year
Twelve months of firsts, gathered into one film you'll play every birthday.
Birthday Party
The candles, the mess, the faces around the table — kept exactly as they felt.
Family Trips
Airports, back roads, the long drive home. One journey, told end to end.
Celebration of Life
A gentle, careful retelling of a life, made for the people who loved it most.
Anniversary Recap
Decades of clips shaped into the story of two people, still going.
A Year in Review
The ordinary days you almost forgot to notice — turned into a keepsake.

Priced by clips and time
Two limits set your package — clip count and total running time. Whichever you reach first is the tier, and we confirm both before you pay anything.

A full retelling — years of footage shaped into one film the family sits down for. Up to 200 clips and up to 8 hours of total footage, whichever limit you reach first.
We are new. The person editing your film is not.
Dearly Films is a young studio, so we're not going to invent testimonials. What we have instead is a professional editor who has spent years cutting personal films, and a founding-client offer while we build our first gallery.
$150 off for our first ten families, in exchange for permission to share a short excerpt of your finished film.
If you'd rather keep your film entirely private, that's always fine — the discount is optional, never a condition of working with us.
