To preserve the rich histories of families with cinematic, professional quality, ensuring that both current and future generations can easily reflect on their loved ones’ lives at any time.

Our mission is to provide families with exceptional video services that document and preserve their unique stories, moments, and legacies. We aim to create high-quality, cinematic content that captures memories with care, ensuring they are preserved for generations to come.

My name is Liam Martyn, and I grew up in London, Ontario. I’ve been editing videos since 2016 and pursued filmmaking full-time after graduating from University in 2020. Early in my career, I worked with companies like Ryobi, College Pro, and Milwaukee Tool and placed 3rd in MotionVFX’s international filmmaking competition; mMakeItCinematic under my freelance company, Martyn Media Productions. While MMP focused on corporate video production, I created Everlasting Studios to preserve precious memories for families—which became my sole focus in 2022.

I was lucky to grow up in a family that used video cameras to capture trips, celebrations, and everyday moments. In September 2020, I discovered a collection of old 8mm films of my paternal grandparents, sparking my journey into film digitization. I learned how to restore and preserve these films, using my editing experience to organize and share them with my family. By Christmas, I had digitized all our 8mm, VHS, and video cassettes, ensuring these memories were safe and easily accessible for years to come. Seeing the joy this brought to my family, I set out to help others do the same.

As a filmmaker passionate about storytelling, I also took the opportunity in 2020 to sit down with my maternal grandparents and record their life stories. I asked them thoughtful questions, filmed their responses, and edited the footage into what I called their Legacy Video. Recognizing the deep impact of these videos, I refined my approach, invested in better equipment, and created similar films for my parents. Encouraged by the emotional response from friends and family, I started offering this service to others.

Then, in December 2020, I used the digitized footage of my late grandparents to create my first memorial video—an emotional tribute that meant the world to me. Soon after, I made a memorial slideshow for a family friend and, later, a wedding video for my cousin. By 2022, these personal projects had expanded into Everlasting Studios’ professional slideshow services, offering beautifully crafted videos to commemorate life’s most meaningful moments.

Through Everlasting Studios, I’m honoured to help families preserve their stories, legacies, and cherished memories—ensuring they live on for generations to come.
