Legacy Films

Their story deserves
to be a film.

Custom documentaries that capture your parent's or grandparent's life — before the stories are gone.

You've been meaning to sit down with them. You know the stories are there. The hard years, the funny ones, the things they've never said out loud. That's what Aaron Wong Films is for.

Craft

A film your family will watch for generations.

Not a slideshow. Not a home video. A real documentary.

Professionally filmed, edited, and scored — built around the person who shaped your family. We interview them. We find the photographs. We talk to the people who knew them. We put it together into something that will still feel alive in 50 years.

Every project is custom. No packages, no templates — just the film your family's story deserves.

Process

Three steps to preserve a legacy.

It starts with 30 minutes on the phone. You tell me about the person, their stories, and what you want future generations to understand about their life. This will be a family heirloom.

Conversation

I handle everything: interviews, research, archive digging, digitization of old VHS tapes and photographs, editing, music, and sound design. You bring the story. I bring the storytelling, the camera, and a decade of interview experience.

Creation

You'll receive a finished documentary—meant to be shared amongst family members—along with all interview footage, photographs, and original materials organized and archived for future generations.

Legacy

Don't have footage to work with? I also digitize old VHS tapes and photographs as a standalone service — so nothing gets left behind before the documentary begins.

Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker

This work started with my own family's story.

From 2019 to 2024, I made a documentary about my great-great-grandfather — an immigrant who arrived in Boston in the late 1800s and founded one of the first restaurants in Boston's Chinatown. I almost waited too long. I'm grateful I didn't — because now, that story lives on.

That film — Hong Far Low — changed how I think about preserving family history. And it made me realize: most families have a story like this. A person whose life deserves to be on film. A window closing faster than anyone wants to admit.
