A family name can carry pride and difficult history. Tell your children about the moment you decided what it would mean in your hands.
Start with one memory: a joy, a loss, a regret, or a person you never want your family to forget. We help you shape it into a story in your own voice.

The Name We Took off the Door
Vincent · For my son, who inherited the restaurant Fictional narrator · 2 min read
My uncle offered to pay every bill in the restaurant. All I had to do was leave the back room unlocked on Thursdays.
I was thirty-two, behind on the rent, and tired of telling your mother things were improving. My uncle had money and friends nobody questioned. I knew about the illegal card games. I told myself a closed door was none of my business.

Then he brought a second key. He spoke about our name, our obligations, the people who would be disappointed if I refused. He never raised his voice. I remember looking at the high chair behind the counter and realizing I would eventually have to explain that key to you.
I gave it back. He withdrew his offer and stopped visiting. There was no grand victory that week. We sold the good oven, reduced the menu, and moved upstairs into two rooms that smelled of frying onions. Your mother kept the books while I washed dishes after midnight.
For a while we took the family name off the sign. The restaurant became simply “The Corner.” When business finally steadied, your mother photographed us outside. You are in her arms, waving a wooden spoon. That is the opening-day picture we keep, although the doors had technically been open for years.
You are hanging it again today before reopening the dining room. You need not admire every decision I made. But you should know why I never accepted that easy money, and why your mother’s name belongs beside mine on the new sign.

Keep your project private, or discuss publishing your written story, your film, or both.
2
Agree before publication
Review a separate agreement and decide whether to accept it. Nothing is published without your permission.
3
Share in actual earnings
If the approved content earns revenue, you receive your agreed share, with reports and payments on the agreed schedule.
What you agree before publication
What can be published
The approved story or film, and where it may be published.
What revenue counts
The income included and any costs deducted before calculating your share.
Your percentage
Your share and a clear explanation of how it is calculated.
Reports & payments

Sharing is entirely optional. Income is not guaranteed. The writing or film fee is paid before production and is separate from any later revenue sharing.
This is only a planning preference. It will be included if you download your plan. It does not send us a request, authorize publication or create a revenue-sharing agreement.

Before you begin
Do I need to know how to write?
No. Start with your own words, a few notes or a recording. The writing service helps shape those memories into a story.
Does the AI film price include writing?
Whether story writing is included will be confirmed before payment. The complete project scope and total price will be confirmed before you pay.
How much would I earn from revenue sharing?
There is no fixed share or promised income at this stage. If you choose to discuss publishing after delivery, a separate proposal will explain the approved content and publishing channels, your percentage, the revenue included and any deductions, earnings reports and payment terms. You can decide then.
Can I book or pay now?
Not yet. You can choose a service and download your personal plan. Before booking opens, the package scope, prices and delivery terms will be confirmed.
