The founder of RETOLD
Why Retold exists

Built by our family, for yours.

“The only recording we have of my grandmother is a nine-second voicemail. I built Retold because I wanted to capture my own parents’ voices — the real stories, in their own words — before it was too late.”

— The founder of RETOLD

Made to be kept forever.

Questions

Everything you’re wondering.

🎙 Is it really their voice in the film?
Yes — drawn from their recorded calls, never synthetic, never used to train anything.
📞 Who exactly calls my mom?
A warm interviewer from our small team, on calls scheduled in advance at times she picks.
🛡 What if she won’t do the calls, or can’t finish?
Cancel any time before delivery for a full refund, and your family keeps every recording made.
👵 My mom can’t use apps. Will this work?
She never touches technology — a friendly interviewer calls her phone, and she just talks.
👴 What if Dad’s shy or says he has no stories?
Gentle, specific questions surface stories even they forgot they had.
🎁 I need a gift for THIS weekend. Does this work?
Yes — you get a printable gift card instantly, and the calls and film follow over the next weeks.
📬 How long does the film take?
Most families premiere in about a month; the instant gift card covers the day itself.
🎬 How are the visuals made?
Illustrated with AI tools, directed scene by scene by our editors — never faking anyone’s face.
🔊 What happens to the recordings?
Yours to download from the first call — private by default, never sold, never used to train AI.
💚 What if we don’t love it?
One revision round is included, and a full refund is available until 30 days after delivery. Read the refund policy.
❤️ Other languages? Hard of hearing? Tired easily?
We go at their pace — English and Spanish today; ask us about other languages before ordering.

The stories are still here. That’s the moment to keep them.
