Living Cinema exists to capture and create beautiful films. We shoot film because it is timeless; the full, rich detail, and depth are far from being duplicated. 16mm film and Super 8 create a texture and experience that is truly unique.
16mm is unique in its conveyance of emotion and detail. It carries a sophisticated and classic look with rich textures, vivid colors, and the ability to create natural imagery. Super 8 is known for its rustic, vintage charm and playful feel.
It's wonderful when classic forms can live in our modern spaces; both 16mm film and Super 8 look all the more stunning in High Definition. When something old and something new combine, the dynamics of a wedding film are changed. A combination of film and digital creates a beautiful blend of modern technology and classical artistry. The digital medium abounds with its seemingly limitless borders and when it's united with film; style, taste, and life unite to form an amazing film.
Curtis Heyne, along with his wife Laura, enjoy life and all its celebrations. Our desire is to create films that communicate joy, beauty, and significance. Life serves as the subject of all our films because the natural, organic materials have more meaning and beauty than the artificial. It is our passion to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and His creation in all we do.
Our wedding films are crafted from fine mediums like 16mm film, Super 8mm film, High Definition digital cinematography, or a combination of digital and a film selection of your choice. We strive to maintain a small presence and profile at every event with discreet filming techniques and unobtrusive gear. We enjoy moving with the events and emotions of the day to capture them naturally. Our company is small and dedicated to one event a day because we can only be in one location at a time.
Our wedding vignettes present your day in a distinctive, beautiful fashion. They are composed from the unique elements of your wedding day: the people, details, decor, and emotions. These are always full of style and true to you and your event.
