Without the Story, It's Just Stuff.
I take what's tucked away in drawers, phones, and memory, and turn it into short, beautiful films your family, your team, or your clients will keep for good.
A Legacy of Service.
A Story Entrusted.
My role with North Shore Rescue was to be a careful steward of their 60-year history. As lead editor, I distilled 36 hours of interviews into a 22-part legacy series built to honour their past and outlast all of us.
I bring that same care to a single family's story.
View the ProjectHi, I'm Rob Postma.
I've spent 25 years as a documentary editor, and Scrapbook Films is where that work gets personal.
It started with something I didn't do. I never recorded my dad's story before his Alzheimer's diagnosis. I thought there'd be more time. I missed the window. Now that I have kids of my own, I wish I had those memories to pass down. That's what led me here: helping other people hold onto what they have, before it's gone.
Stories Only Film Can Keep
Short samples of the work. Real people, their own words, nothing staged.
A Glimpse of Heritage. A mother's journey from New Westminster to Prince George, life in a log cabin, and a father's return from war. Told in her own words.
A Near Miss and a Family's Unbreakable Bond
A near-tragic event became a family's inside joke, capturing the resilience and humour that binds them.
The Legacy We Leave Behind
The things that matter most are rarely our grandest achievements. They are the quiet roles we played as parents, partners, and friends.
One Conversation, One Chapter
A short film built from a single relaxed conversation. Simple to make, and quietly powerful to have.
A Tribute That Feels True
A memorial film honours a presence, not just a story. Photos and memories shaped into comfort and connection.
Many Voices, One Film
Friends and family record short messages from wherever they are, woven into one heartfelt keepsake.
