...so my grandfather told me

“It was 1832, on a night just like this...” - a quote taken from one of my favorite movies, National Treasure. I was watching National Treasure the other night and I got to thinking: how many grandparents have stories nearing or exceeding a hundred years old. I mean, if we think about it, many of the grandparents today fought in a war or had a grandparent of their own who fought in a war. What stories do they have hidden away? While they probably don’t have Freemason-hidden-maps-on-the-back-of-the-Declaration-of-Independence-stories, I bet they have something much more valuable for their grandkids - real-life stories of how America fights for its independence and protects those countries who cannot fight for themselves. Our grandparents, who have stories that their grandparents have told them about Pearl Harbor, Desert Storm and other such tragedies, are invaluable and best told only from their own mouths, in their words, the way they remember being told. 

Memens can help keep oral tradition what it was meant to be - stories past down from generation to generation. Only now, the stories can be passed down and told by those who started them, and shared with those who were never able to hear the them in-person.

Once upon a bus ride in Italy...

Hello! Resident blogger here! I really appreciate what Memens does for its clients. As a client myself, I have found peace in knowing I can share my grandparents with my future children and their children, and so on. I’ve also seen the mindfulness of posterity in my recent experiences: 

I recently traveled to Italy, where I frequently rode the public buses. There was one afternoon bus ride I will never forget. An elderly man sat near me and after several stops started speaking to me in broken English. He told me stories of his visit to America. He visited California and drove to New York. He experienced the Pacific Ocean, the palm trees, the freeways, the Big Apple. He was so proud of his travels, and so willing to share with a perfect stranger. It was clear that he had so many more stories to share. During my conversation, I learned that he had suffered from lung cancer, which left him with a stoma. Inevitably, he will lose his ability to speak, an absolute that was obviously fast-approaching. I couldn’t help but think that his passion for sharing stories should be captured somehow for posterity. While a lifetime of smoking will, in the near future, extinguished his ability share his memories, a video/audio documentary would enable the immortality of his stories, memories, and the passion for which he told them. This is a man who would benefit from a Memens video. 

Though Memens isn’t available to my new friend from the bus (yet), it is nationwide and has the ability to capture the stories and memories of many of our elderly friends, who, like the man on the bus in Italy, have a story to tell.

Share the story of a lifetime.

"Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds, will continue in others."
 - Rosa Parks

It's true. The memories of our lives will continue in others; but only if the others know our memories. Memens is the key to sharing our memories with those "others" in our lives, and those who will succeed our lives.

Memens is a company founded on the basis of preserving the memories of those we love, for posterity. In Latin, the word memen means memory, or remember. It is with remembrance in mind that we set forth to capture the stories, the lives, and the character of our grandparents, our loved ones, in video documentary.

The founders, myself, Isaac, and James, have pooled our talents and created an unforgettable avenue for capturing memories that we are passionate about sharing with you.

While we all weigh in on business development, we each have our specialties that makes Memens unique. Isaac specializes in videography, editing, and design; James specializes in design and music; I handle the architecture, strategy, and operations. The three of us, together, triangulate your key to remembering those you love and sharing their stories so that the memory of them lives throughout other generations. 

With us is our resident blogger, Amber, who will be capturing the exceptional stories in writing, as well as providing you with direct access to Memens news, discounts, and anecdotal stories and memories that relate directly to our purpose.

We've set up this ablog not only to stay connected to our clients, but to offer company transparency and an easy way for you to give us feedback on your experience with both our interviews and products.
