Films for milestone birthdays
Turn a lifetime of memories into a film.
A 5–10 minute narrated film of their life, made from your family's photos, videos and stories. Ready for their 80th, 90th or 100th birthday.
How it started
It began with a 100th birthday.
Our founder gathered a grandmother's old photos, the family's stories and a few home videos, and turned them into a short film for her 100th birthday. The whole family watched it together: a century of her life, in ten minutes.
The Days of Me exists so every family can give that gift.
How it works
You bring the memories. We make the film.

We craft
We write the story, you approve the script. Then we restore and gently animate the photos, add narration and music, and edit it all into a film.

Celebrate
Your film arrives in time for the party, with a short trailer to share with family who can't be there.
Free, no strings
Bring one old photo to life.
Upload a family photo. We'll restore it, add color and gently animate it, just like a moment in their film. It's usually ready in a few minutes, and we'll email you the link.
- Scratches and fading repaired
- Natural color added to black-and-white photos
- A few seconds of gentle, lifelike motion
One free photo per email. We delete your photo after 30 days.
What's in a film
Their story, told with care.
Restored photos
Faded, torn and black-and-white photos, repaired and brought into color.
Gentle motion
A smile, a breath, a breeze. Just enough movement to feel like a memory.
The places they lived
Where there are no photos, we paint the setting: the street, the ship, the town square in their era.
A warm narrator
A professional narration voice tells their story, written from your family's own words.
Family voices
With permission, real voices from the family interviews: the stories, the laughter, the messages.
Music and a trailer
Licensed music throughout, plus a short vertical trailer that's easy to share.
Our promise: we never invent a face, a person or a moment that didn't happen. Every line of the story comes from what your family tells us.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long does it take?
Gathering photos and interviews usually takes about a week. Once you approve the script, your film is ready within 7 days. We recommend ordering at least three weeks before the celebration. Rush delivery is available.
What do I need to provide?
Photos (phone scans of albums are fine), any old videos or voice recordings you have, and answers to a short set of questions. Relatives can add their stories through short guided interviews on their phone.
Can it be a surprise?
Yes. Most films are. We only talk to the family members you invite, and every invitation reminds them to keep it a secret.
How do you use AI?
AI helps us restore and color photos, add gentle motion, paint the settings of their life, and produce the narration. People write and check the story, and you approve the script before we make anything. We never invent a face, a person or an event.
What if we don't have many photos?
That's common, especially for early years. The stories carry the film, and we fill the gaps with scenes of the places and times they lived.
Can relatives who live far away take part?
Yes. Interviews happen on their phone, whenever it suits them. They can answer by voice or text.
How do I pay?
When we start your film, we'll send a secure payment link. You can pay by credit or debit card. No PayPal account is needed.
What happens to our photos?
They're used only to make your film, stored securely, and never shared or used for advertising without your written permission. See our privacy policy.
