At CONTEXT Studios, we understand that life is busy, and between everything on your plate, finding the time to document the stories and memories you want to preserve can be a challenge.
Let us take that weight off your shoulders. With our expert team, you won’t have to worry about what to capture or how to preserve these stories an memories. We’ll handle it all.
By getting to know your unique story beforehand, we craft a seamless experience that highlights what matters most to you. The result? A beautifully crafted documentary that tells your story — one you can treasure for decades to come.
Context is everything.
Context is the invisible force shaping every individual, family, and business—experiences that define them, but often remain untold. Unlike photos or short clips, a documentary offers much deeper insight and understanding. For individuals and families, it reveals their very essence and the journey that shaped them. For businesses, it highlights the vision, values, and steps behind their growth. It’s also one of the most meaningful gifts to pass on to the next generation: the context of who they are and where they came from.

Message from our founder.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked closely with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and family business leaders, helping them articulate who they are, what they’ve built, and why it matters. Through my work in strategy consulting, PR, and crisis communications, I’ve seen firsthand that the most enduring legacies are rarely the loudest. They are shaped quietly, over time, through values, decisions, relationships, and purpose.
CONTEXT Studios was born from something deeply personal. Like many people at a certain stage of life, I began thinking about how the stories, wisdom, and experiences of my parents, myself, and our broader family might be preserved for future generations. I didn’t want their legacy reduced to photographs, scattered anecdotes, or documents that might never be read. I wanted something more meaningful. Something enduring. Something that captured not just what happened, but why it mattered.
That search led me to a simple but powerful realization: we were missing a thoughtful, cinematic way to preserve lives of meaning, one that honoured both personal history and professional legacy with depth, dignity, and intention.
At CONTEXT Studios, we don’t document moments. We reveal context. We listen deeply. We ask the right questions. And we translate complex, remarkable lives into cinematic narratives designed to endure across generations. Every project is meticulously planned, discreetly executed, and crafted with the same care as a fine piece of art.
This work is not about visibility or exposure. It is about preservation.
My hope is that the documentaries we create become something families return to over time, shared with children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come as a way of understanding not just what was built, but the values and choices that shaped it.
Because when everything else fades, context is what remains.
How we give back.
At CONTEXT Studios, we believe every story deserves to be remembered. While dementia may fade memories, it can’t erase a legacy.
That’s why we donate a portion of every documentary’s proceeds to Women’s Brain Health Initiative (WBHI), advancing their mission to protect the brain health of women, caregivers, and families.
Through cutting edge research, education, and public awareness, WBHI is leading the charge to prevent, delay, and ultimately eliminate brain-aging diseases that disproportionately affect women.
We’re hiring.
