Myth Series: “My Family Is Too Boring to Make a Family Film”

Do you have a family that you absolutely adore, but you're worried that documenting your time together might not be worth it because you are “too boring”? You're not alone. This is a common myth that I hear often. I am here to tell you, even if you believe your family is "boring", there are many reasons why it's worth making a family film to document your lives. Here are a few reasons to consider:

Capturing your memories as a family

Firstly, making a family film is a fantastic way to capture precious memories and moments that you might forget over time. Even seemingly mundane moment, like reading you kid’s favorite book or making pankaces together, can become incredibly meaningful when viewed in the context of a family film. Years down the line, you'll be grateful to have these memories captured on video because you will be able to hear your child’s sweet voice that now sounds so different, or you can reminisce on that time that they actually enjoyed learning to make pancakes with you (let’s be honest they will not do that when they become teenagers!). Add extra 20/30 years, your children will treasure to see and hear you teaching them that family pancake recipe. See… even the simplest things we do at home are not boring, they are moments shared with love.

Preserving family history

Another great reason to document your time together as a family is that it can help preserve your family's unique history and heritage for future generations. Your children and grandchildren will be able to learn about their family's past, including their traditions, values, and even quirks. Imagine your children and grandchildren being able to watch your family film and learn more about where they came from and the special moments you shared together.

Celebrating the ordinary

Sometimes, the ordinary moments in life can be just as meaningful as the extraordinary ones. It's a way to showcase the love and bond that you share with one another. A family film can help you celebrate the everyday moments that make up your family’s life, from making breakfast together to playing in the backyard. Those ordinary moments, at the end of the day, are the ones we’ll miss the most.

Showcasing your family's uniqueness

And let's not forget that every family has something special and unique about them. A family film can help highlight your family's individuality and personality. Even if you believe your family is "boring," there is likely something unique and special about them that you love.

A fun project to work on together

Lastly, making a family film can be a fun and rewarding project to work on together as a family. It's a great way to take some time to put away the electronics, focus on really being in the moment with each other, bond, create something special together, and maybe even discover some hidden talents! It's a wonderful way to spend time together and create something truly special.

In conclusion, documenting your time together as a family in a family film is definitely worth considering. It's a way to capture precious memories, preserve your family's unique history and heritage, showcase your individuality, and have fun together as a family. So why not give it a try? I promise you won't regret it and I'm here to support you every step of the way if you decide to go for it.
