About Us

Every Film is a New Story. We keep our productions Fresh. Intelligent. Real.

Jack and Naomi (partners in life as well as in business) created GENERATIONS cinemastories with an eye and ear focused on making wedding, mtizvah and special event films that would grow in value several generations down the road.

Rather than following trends in the industry, the couple and the studio editors are constantly innovating, stayiing ahead of the curve. ""We want to make an event film in the style of the client and the event. For some that will mean modern, for others, retro. Some projects will be heavy on the music, others stronger in dialogue". Their work is not about the latest camera or the newest tripod. While they use small, professional cams and mics, the team focuses on the people and the stories they tell.  Rather than using a template (These are the four "money shots" of the ceremony..." ) Naomi and Jack keep their cameras rolling, out of the way and usually unseen. They work hard to see old traditions in new ways and they excel at capturing intimate moments that happen unexpectedly

Awarded Best of Boston by Boston Magazine in 2008 (the only wedding videographers to have had that honor!), members of the National Association of Catering Executives, International Special Event Society, Boston Bridal Lounge, Style Me Pretty the studio has made a name for itself offering the best in unpretentious, emotionally sensitive wedding, mitzvah and event documentation. In 2011 GENERATIONS cinemastories was a finalst on Boston's A-list, and the sole videographers to be awarded the Editor's Choice from Brides Boston Magazine. in 2011, GENERATIONS cinemastories was featured in the premiere issue of Southern New England Destination Weddings as well as Southern New England Magazine.

Specializing in honoring tradition while beng creative innovators, founders Jack Brotman and Naomi Raiselle are artist who continue to experiment with film narrative as well as montage and the broader medium of moving image and sound.

An in-person meeting will allow prospective clients to understand what makes this studio so special.

Words cannot adequately express how blown away we were by working with Naomi and Jack. From the first time we spoke on the phone, every interaction was nothing but a pleasure. There could not be two more genuine and creative people who bring incredible professionalism, artistry, and talent to their work. We were so happy to be sharing our wedding day with them and loved how important it is to Generations Cinemastories to have an understanding of the couple's identity and story and what matters most to them about capturing the day. After we told Naomi and Jack that our huge focus for our wedding was including our 5 grandparents, they thought of the idea of interviewing each of them for our video. Those interviews are beyond valuable to us, and for the rest of our lives we will be able to see our beloved grandparents so happy for us, talking about their excitement for our future together.

Watching the video, we laughed until our bellies hurt, we cried tears of joy, and we were able to relive the best day of our lives. I will pass along the same statement that was said to me when a friend recommended working with Generations Cinemastories - it is the best decision I made when planning my wedding. I'm sure there are great videographers out there, but Generations Cinemastories is on a whole different level. They created a personalized memory for us that we will have forever.
GENERATIONS cinemastories responded with the following comments:
We LOVE you Emily and Sean! Making your wedding film, getting to know your friends, your families, your grandparents (!!!) was nothing less than pure delight. We hope we have occasion to work with you again in the future, and thank you, thank you, thank you, for inviting us to share your very special day!

We have had the pleasure to work with Naomi and Jack several times on various weddings throughout the Boston area over the past several years.
It is amazing to watch the way they are able to create a video that is so personal for each couple that it's almost as if they have known each of their clients for years. Their finished products are not your typical wedding video, but a film telling the story of the couple as well as their loved ones throughout one of the most memorable and joyous days of their lives.
