Two Ways to Preserve a Legacy
Which One Is Right for Your Family?
Both are filmed by our team. Both become a keepsake your family keeps forever. Here's the difference.
Living Letters
A message, just for them.
Short, personal video letters recorded now and given later — to a specific person, for a specific moment, so your words are there exactly when they're needed.
From $1,000 + $350 per letter

About Berzenji Productions & Media
A Boutique Studio for End-of-Life Storytelling
We're a small, dedicated video production company focused entirely on meaningful, end-of-life storytelling. Every project is guided personally by our founder, Kole Berzenji, with the patience and care these stories deserve — whether that means sitting with someone through a difficult day of filming, or simply making space for the stories that matter most to be told.
A Gift to Our Community
We're proud to partner with senior living communities, hospice organizations, and care facilities across Washington State to offer our services at no cost to their residents. If you're a resident, family member, or staff member connected to one of our partner organizations, just mention it when you reach out — there's no separate application, just a conversation.

Living Memoir
The Gift of a Lifetime
While life insurance leaves money, a Living Memoir leaves something far more valuable: you. Our team sits down with your loved one and guides them through their life story on camera — their voice, their laugh, their hard-earned wisdom — and turns it into a cinematic film your family will treasure for generations.
- Professional filming with a guided interview — no script required
- Cinematic editing with licensed background music
- Delivered on USB, DVD, or Blu-ray with digital download links
Packages start at $3,000, with flexible payment plans up to 12 months.
Living Letters
Some Things Are Meant to Be Said Directly
A Living Letter is a short, personal video message recorded now and given later — to a specific person, for a specific moment. Not a highlight reel. An intimate keepsake that makes sure nothing meaningful is left unsaid, and that your voice is there exactly when it's needed most.
- Personalized messages for specific loved ones or future milestones
- Professionally filmed and edited to match Living Memoir quality
- Volume pricing — discounts starting at 6 letters
Starts at $1,000 per session plus $350 per letter.

— Roberta Wardell
"We worked exclusively with Kole Berzenji, who was so helpful and compassionate. The final video was a testament to our Mom's beautiful life. We are so blessed to have this video to add to all our memories."
— Diana Pechthalt
"It feels like watching the lore of my family. I am so happy my son will be hearing those stories from the same voice of his great grandmother that I had of my grandmother growing up."
— Natasha Jewell
