How it Works

    You want to connect.
    You just don't always know how.

    What does a typical visit feel like for you?

    What we believe

    All you really want from a visit is for it to feel positive.
    ReelLife Conversations is built for that.

    Visits feel hard when you're trying to help them remember. You don't have to.

    There is always a conversation to be had about any photo.
    Not remembering the details isn't failure.
    There is always plenty to talk about. Photos are not a memory test.
    See it for yourself

    Three prompts, endless conversations

    “I think I've been to Whitby — it's lovely there, isn't it.”
    No question. Just a feeling shared.
    “The sea always looks so different depending on the weather...”
    Observation, not recall.
    “There's something about the sound of waves, isn't there.”
    Sensory and open.
    Louise Callin, founder of ReelLife Conversations

    “If a memory comes, wonderful. If it doesn't, there is always plenty to talk about in every photo.”

    Louise Callin, founder of ReelLife Conversations

    The experience

    This is what a visit can feel like.

    A photo. A prompt. A conversation that goes wherever it wants to go.

    Oh we always had Sunday dinners outside when the weather was good. Your dad would carve.

    Auntie Joan — and she'd never bring the same one twice. Trifle one week, lemon tart the next.

    A conversation that goes wherever it wants to go.

    The tools

    Every photo contains more than one conversation.

    ReelLife gives you three ways into any photo. Each one opens something different.

    Prompts
    A word appears. A door opens.
    “Look at that blue sky — what a shame it's raining today. Do you prefer hot sunny days or a crisp winter morning?”
    Tip

    Describe what you see. You don't need to know the story behind the photo, just start with what's right in front of you both.
