Metal Barn Productions, L.L.C., does not build OR sell metal barns! It's a long story - how we picked our name.
What we are in the business of doing, and doing it better than anyone we know, is collecting your family memories and then giving them back to you - digitized - in a DVD, Blue-Ray, thumb drive or SD card.
You could call us memory collectors and protectors.

"Our single most important goal, the reason we come to work happy and excited each and every day, and spend many long hours editing video footage until it is perfect, is that we get to help families save their precious histories; we organize stories, add and identify people in old photographs, talk about and film family heirlooms if you have them.
We put all of this on a DVD or Blu-Ray. This is a product that your family can keep forever...or until the next great film format comes along!"
When we're done, we're going to hand you that video and you can pop it into your DVD or Blue-Ray player and watch your loved one on that big flat screen TV in the living room. We can also give you a link to the video online where you can watch it from there. Keep for as long as you want that precious and inspiring story of your grandparents or living relatives or if you're lucky, your 5th generation ancestors.
So sad that Grandpa Sam passed away last year. He was your best buddy. But guess what? Grandma Bea - his wife of 55 years - is still here and she remembers just about everything!
Who knew he drank two shots of moonshine with a beer chaser every year on his birthday? At midnight. And then, this couple who adored you kids to the moon and back? They would dance to their favorite Italian opera on the rickety old back porch of their house in Queens, where they lived most of their adult lives. Your Dad was born and raised in that house.
Then they'd sit on the cement stoop and smoke a stogie each and talk about how they met...how great life had been for them, and what great grand kids they had. They reminded each other about their ancestors and how hard it had been for them all to "come to 'Merica" as Grandpa Sam's father used to say.
Now you have that image and that story to share with your grandchildren and all the grandchildren still waiting to be born from your lineage. What an honorable and loving way to fill-in the limbs of your one of a kind family tree. Each leaf a person with a fabulous memory they want to leave behind, one memory at a time.
