Preserve Your Family’s Legacy
Simple & Hassle Free
Most families only have scattered photos, a voicemail, or a few home videos to remember their loved ones by. But memories fade, and legacies can be lost.
We Capture Your Story
At illumin8 films we capture the heart of a life story, woven into a cinematic documentary that your family will cherish for generations.
From a Personal Gift to a Global Legacy
illumin8 films was founded by Barry Reese, who created his first legacy documentary as a gift for his mother’s 95th birthday. The impact it had on his family was profound and sparked the vision for illumin8.
Barry left a successful international career to work with Emmy-winning director Alex Gibney, where he served as a producer on a documentary film. Today, he leads a team of filmmakers in Pittsburgh, crafting cinematic heirlooms for families around the world.
“What began as a gift for my mom turned into a new way to honor lives and preserve legacies - stories that deserve to be remembered.”
