Beautiful Home Movies. Made By You.

Bedtime stories told under a blanket.

Their first wobbly steps.

Blowing out birthday candles.

You'll tell the story of their childhood, one chapter at a time.

Press Play & Feel Like You're There Again

See their little hand holding yours.

Hear their tiny voice calling your name.

Watch them scrunch their nose when they laugh.

For a moment, they're your little baby again.

Show Loved Ones What They Missed

Partner was away on business?

Grandma missed the trip to the zoo?

Now they can watch the whole day play out.

As if they were there all along.

Take Them Back To Their Childhood

Twenty years from now, they'll see it all again.

Their favorite toy train rolling on the tracks.

How they peeked under the Christmas tree.

The way you danced with them in the kitchen.

They'll remember what growing up with you felt like.

How beautiful seeing my daughter this way! We filmed ourselves baking and turned it into a little movie. I usually send my husband clips from the day but this time he got a whole story. It was really fun doing this as an activity together and I'm looking forward to making more movies 😊

I can't believe what came out of my phone. Thought I need professional cameras or whatever to film cinematically. Really grateful to have learned this. Our hike turned into a cinematic film with beautiful views and I had such a cozy time with him while doing it. Can't wait to show him these things when he grows up.

Made a movie of my kids making a snowman and they had such a blast doing it! We ate pumpkin soup and watched in on the TV that very same evening. I'm not very technical but the editing was so fast and smooth, I thought it would be much harder than that. Added a filter that made it look like an old VHS-tape and it brought me back to my own childhood. Thank you for this, really!!

Thousands Of Clips.

No Real Stories.

Hey, I'm Ben! Filmmaker, photographer, and dad of two.

After recording over 20,000 clips of my son, Nima, I realized a problem...

Most clips started in the middle, ended abruptly and were either too long or too short.

Never a complete story...

It felt like I was splitting his childhood into thousands of little pieces...

As a filmmaker of 15+ years, I knew how to tell stories with a camera.

So I used those skills to start making family films with my phone.

Like this one:

And I wish I'd started sooner.

Nima loves watching himself on the TV.

And my wife keeps asking me to make more.

I haven't looked back ever since.

That's why I created 1 Day Family Filmmaker.

To help you create beautiful memories of your kids you'll cherish for a lifetime.

My parents got to see my son doing a treasure hunt. They live states away so making movies and being able to share them like this has been a true blessing. Thank you so much for making this course!

I'm not good with cameras and settings but Ben has been a fantastic teacher! Made everything sound so simple and straight forward. I was especially worried about editing but I didn't get stuck at all, just had to put stuff in order and add a few texts and effects. Really proud of what I accomplished!

I found this course right before we went on holiday. Felt stressed about buying and packing camera gear. Thanks to this program, we've documented our entire trip and can now watch it back whenever we want. God bless!
