What kind of movie will your story become?
Romance
Letters of a Lifetime
For the good kind of tears. A forgotten mailbag in a 1940s post office, full of letters addressed to her, held back until the right day. Not a single scare.

True story · Case No. 31·10
Pietra's Night
Twenty chapters. Eight people she loves. Four paws at the end.
For Pietra's 30th birthday, Lucas built a suspense film out of their story. She broke the wax seal and found the wine, the bouquet hidden in the closet that almost never gets opened, the invitation waiting on the bed and, in the final chapter, a puppy waiting in the bathroom.

Cold case files · questions
How do I build mine?
After checkout you get a link to a guided editor: pick the genre, write your memories, upload your photos and choose where to hide the clues. It takes about 30 minutes, and the experience is ready the moment you finish.
Do I need two screens?
No. With Cinema, everything runs on a single screen: a TV or a laptop in full screen, and you move forward with the mouse or keyboard. With Production, we set it up with two screens and a phone as the controller, just like we did for Pietra.
What if she scares easily?
Choose Romance or Adventure: neither has jump scares. Suspense is all mystery and atmosphere, nothing gory, and with Production we tune the intensity with you.
How long does the night last?
An hour to an hour and a half, depending on the genre and how many memories you add. You can pause at any moment.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. You build it in the editor, click "Start the experience" and go full screen. Build it on the same computer she'll watch on: your photos are stored there. Before the big night, you can rehearse as many times as you like.
What if something goes wrong on the night?
Rehearse first: the experience is exactly the same on the night. If it freezes, just reload the page and everything picks up where it left off. Any questions, write to us at contato@cinepresente.com. With Production, someone from our team is on call at the scheduled time.
What happens to my photos?
With Cinema, your photos and videos stay in your browser only: they never even reach our servers. With Production, we use your material only to build your experience and delete it after delivery. Nothing appears on our site without your written permission.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes: the site, the editor and the experience are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Your browser picks the language automatically, and you can switch it in the footer.
Still deciding?
Make the free preview with the name of the person receiving it and play the first chapters. It takes 2 minutes and no sign-up.
