Honoring her Mother
A few months before her mother’s 50th birthday, the daughter contacted us with a vision: to create a film capturing her mother’s colorful, adventurous life across different continents. The daughter wrote the script herself, sharing stories about her mother’s journey as told by her grandmother, uncle, and the same nanny who cared for the mother as a child and later cared for her daughter. The narrative followed her mother’s life from childhood to friendships, marriage, and motherhood.
We traveled to the mother’s childhood home to conduct interviews and gathered photos from family albums, along with old tapes and DVDs provided by her best friend. The result was a concept film celebrating a life brimming with remarkable experiences and cherished connections.










Attention to Detail
On the night of the celebration, a Havana-themed birthday transformed the venue into the vibrant streets of Cuba. Event planner Jeannette Mang worked closely with the clients and suppliers to bring the theme to life in every detail. Surrounded by family, friends, and the music of world-renowned performers Nile Rodgers and Toni Braxton, the film became one of the highlights of the evening. It showcased a daughter honoring her mother’s five decades of an extraordinary life while looking ahead to the many adventures yet to come.

These include numerous birthday celebrations, wedding celebrations in Spain, Scotland and Austria and even a feature length documentary film for the family. Each project is a continuation of their story, capturing the moments and milestones that define their journey.
what our clients say...
John and Marijo have been a dream to work with. While they were always present, their presence never felt distracting and allowed us to be in the moment through the entire weekend.

It was one big, professional, friendly, pleasant, emotional cooperation which continues with our new events. From the moment I met John, I knew he and his team will be the ones who will film our wedding. The chemistry was just there. I have worked with many videographers in my private and professional life and I can freely say, John and his team are one of a kind.
Marija S.
We found eleazarfilm through two separate recommendations. Working with John and Marijo was very pleasant. Both have a calming presence which was extremely comforting during the morning of the wedding. Another small but significant factor is that they are multilingual. Many of my family members do not speak German, and being able to communicate in English really helped them build a connection and were more comfortable in front of the camera.
Joanna Z.
The wedding is a unique opportunity to celebrate love for one another whilst partying with our friends and family. And this blissful event needs to be captured! The wedding film is definitely one of the best "investments" we made for our wedding. John and Marijo are professional, competent, kind and they show pride in their craft. Their services were beyond expectations and we cannot be happier!

I watched videos of other videographers, but I always stopped after the first minute. eleazarfilm’s videos are not just videos, they are stories. I have actually watched all of their wedding videos online because they were so good. When I finished watching them all, I knew they were the right people to document our big day. Book eleazarfilm. It will be worth it.
