weddings, and legacy archive projects. It is built to be easy to refer: families can send the
project brief first and get a quote without booking a call.

How referrals work
- Send the family to the main site or forward the inquiry email address
- They submit the occasion, deadline, package interest, and story goal

- Calls are used only when the scope is premium, unclear, or relationship-sensitive
Referral language
Keep the handoff simple. Avoid explaining production details unless the family asks.
The most useful introduction is short and direct.
If a family needs a fast memorial or legacy film, send them to Cinematic Family Stories. They can submit the project brief first and get a quote without booking a call.
When to send a family here
- They have a real date and need something tasteful, finished, and shareable
- They have family photos but no clear way to shape them into a film
- They want a meaningful keepsake, not a generic slideshow
- They need a founder-led service that can handle both speed and story
For genealogists and family historians
If your referral source is a genealogist or archive-focused family historian, use the dedicated
partner page for the premium `research-to-film` angle instead of the general memorial/gift framing.
