Capture what money can't buy.
Your voice. Your laugh. The way you tell that story. The look on your spouse’s face when you talk about the early days. These are details that will matter more to your children & grandchildren than any material inheritance.
Gather scattered memories into a coherent, inspiring story.
We don’t just record your memories—we find in them the narrative that reveals what you stand for and what you hope your family carries forward.
Give your grandchildren and beyond a 'North Star' they can return to.
When life challenges weigh heavily on your progeny, your values, dedication, and hard-earned wisdom, powerfully expressed through your Legacy Film, become a beacon and set the example.
Create a shared experience that unites the family.
A private, premiere screening of your Legacy Film often becomes one of the most meaningful nights your family spends together—laughter, tears, and renewed sense of connection around a shared family journey.
Protect your legacy from silence and revision.
If you don’t tell your story, someone else will... or it will quietly disappear. A Legacy Film ensures your achievements, ethics, and the truth are preserved in your own words.
STEP 1: Private Vision-Alignment Call
We begin with a relaxed, confidential consultation where we’ll listen to what matters most to you—THE WHY—your story, your family, your hopes for the film—and talk through scope, timing, and investment to ensure perfect alignment.
STEP 2: Discovery & Story Design
Next, we'll enjoy a longer, in-person conversation to understand your journey at a deep level. We map your life into a narrative arc, design thoughtful interview questions and, with your direction, plan who else (family, friends, colleagues, and others you've impacted) should appear in the film, as well as discuss other things we'll want to capture (see Step 4).
STEP 3: Filming The Interviews (On Your Schedule, Your Turf)
Our discreet micro-crew comes to you. We handle all the technical details—lighting, audio, scheduling—so you can simply sit and share. Many have described our interviews as surprisingly enjoyable and occasionally even cathartic.
STEP 4: Filming The Landscape Of Your Life
To deliver a truly cinematic Legacy Film experience, we shoot much more than just talking heads. Once story details have been collected in all the interviews we conduct, we'll set about filming the people, places, current events, slice-of-life moments, and visual details that will assist the storytelling with an artistry that tugs at heartstrings and can leave an impact for generations.
STEP 5: Post-Production
Just as Michelangelo painstakingly chipped away at his block of Carrera marble to 'find' David, we really go to work in the edit. This is no race; it's where life, the emotional resonance—the cinema—is breathed into your product.
STEP 6: Satisfaction Review
Because this is your story, it is of paramount importance to us that you're thrilled with the result. We'll share a for-your-eyes-only private cut for your personal review & feedback. This is your opportunity to refine details, clarify facts, and ensure you’re fully comfortable with what will be shared. Then, with your notes, we'll get back to work making your Legacy Film just right.
STEP 7: Heirloom Delivery & Optional Private Premiere Event
We deliver your final Legacy Film in archival formats your family can revisit for generations and, if you like, even help you plan and execute a special first screening experience for family & friends.
A surprise BONUS for one of our favorite clients, this is just a tiny glimpse at the kind of Legacy we help people with big lives leave for their loved ones—to cherish, and benefit from, forever.
As a boutique studio with an absolute commitment to excellence in every project, we limit the number of clients we take on each year.

Creating cinematic stories that inspire, Hubbard Production is a boutique storytelling studio for families and founders who care deeply about their contribution to this world—now and for the future.
Buckley Hubbard is an award-winning professional screenwriter, a passionate, lifelong writer-director-producer, and has, for over 25 years, filled a variety of positions on major motion-pictures and TV series including storyboard artist, actor, and personal driver to A-list talent.
Ever since his father died too young in 2016—with far too little film or video to remember him by—Buckley has had a profound appreciation for the importance of preserving the most powerful remembrances possible of our most cherished and most honored loved ones.
Films that feel like cinema, not 'videography'.
Visual storytelling with real emotional weight.
A seasoned writer-director in your corner.

“Buckley Hubbard's locally made drama is intentionally enigmatic, but also well-acted, solidly constructed and impressively shot.”
- Daniel Kraus, Author & Filmmaker

Definition: An ethical will is not a legal document. It’s a values & wisdom legacy—the beliefs, principles, lessons, and hopes someone wants to pass down. In a Legacy Film, an “ethical will segment” is a guided sequence where the subject speaks directly (and intentionally) about those matters.
Think of it as: “Here’s what I learned, what I stand for, and what I hope you carry forward.”
Many legacy videos capture events (“I was born here… then I did this…”). The ethical will segment captures meaning—and that’s what families often most wish they had after someone is gone.
"I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Buck Hubbard for over ten years on various movies and TV series. He's always professional, a communicator, and one of the ones who stays cool under fire. Working with him on a shoot we did was a blast."
Casey Mako | A.D., Director's Guild of America

"Buckley Hubbard created the promotional video for our Surf City location, and we're extremely happy with his work. What really makes him valuable is his ability to create a video that is both engaging and informative. His insistence on delivering an engaging promotional video comes from his decades of experience in the film industry where he developed an appreciation for the process. Whether this means procuring the right equipment, shooting multiple takes, artfully editing clips, or setting up the proper lighting - at every turn he is the consummate professional that won't stop until he's created a masterpiece. We look forward to working with Buckley at our other locations!"

“Wow... I was caught off guard by Buck's commitment to high craft, the sign of a true artist. His passion for light and composition were not only evident but contagious. In a time where a lot of the industry is enamored with the latest hi-def equipment, Buck's presence and enthusiasm on and off the set made the equipment completely secondary and almost invisible… The first project was filmed, edited and submitted within 14 hours, and I was blown away by the final product. I'm really looking forward to the next shoot.”
