+ About
We work with you to capture the stories and essence of the important people in your life through a professionally-produced video interview.
John Clinton
Founder & Lead Producer
The preciousness of these interviews became even clearer when my grandparents passed. Theirs has become one of my family's most cherished possessions – a time capsule of their wonderful personalities, delightful stories, and personal histories.
​​ As I started telling friends about my family interviews they wanted to create similar recordings of their own. I started Posterity Media to help do just that. Scroll down to learn more about our professional media services, or visit our blog for tips on do-it-yourself approaches.
I've spent over 20 years producing media – conducting hundreds of interviews with everyday folks, some of the most notable people around, and everyone in between.​ Through this experience I've learned how to make people feel at ease in a professional studio setting, ask the right questions to inspire their best answers, and produce high quality videos that capture their true selves.​​​
Years ago, I started conducting interviews with my own family members – my parents, in-laws, etc. It was not only great to capture them on high quality video, but also a joy to discover how a slightly formal interview unlocked some family stories they had never shared before.

1-hour professional interview
The big day! For many it will be their first time on professional set – our job is to ensure a comfortable and fun environment where everyone can be themselves and shine on camera.

There are a variety of formats we can edit your interview into. All packages include a Complete Interview (minimal editing to include all answers) but we also offer short Social Media Clips (if you would like to post on Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and fully-edited Highlight Videos that can be a great option for displaying at an event or sharing like a holiday card.
