About

My name is Marcy Rogers. I create timeless films that spotlight and honour family legacy. My mission is to connect families with their history and preserve it for generations to come.I am... The Documentarist.

My Background

My journey began on my 10th birthday, when I received my first camera. It was a Kodak point and shoot. In high school, I took a photography class and learned how to shoot and develop black and white film in a dark room.I was forever hooked. It was MAGIC! In 1986, I created a black-and-white documentary about life in Russia after a once in a life time school trip to Asia.This experience ignited my pursuit of photojournalism and documentary photography at university. Fast forward.Today, I connect families with their stories through film to preserve their history.

My Why

Family stories matter. The good, the bad and the beautiful. They are the threads that weave together our collective tapestry of identity.When I am documenting these films, I am preserving memories and creating bridges between generations that might otherwise never connect.Documenting these stories creates a sense of understanding, empathy, connection and belonging. The stories connect families with their history and the preservation for generations to come.Family stories matter to me and this is why I do what I do.
