So much will happen so quickly….like super emotional over load, and having trained professional and sensitive eyes to document it for you will be priceless in the end! And since seeing is believing, we may be able to help prevent any unnecessary disagreements over who was or wasn’t there, how the centerpieces and décor looked, and how everyone had a great time.

(5) Family history and legacy stuff…your family, college friends, everyone special enough to make the ‘A list’ will be together for this one event in time. Mushy stuff will be said, hugs shared, and loving approval glances given….this is what makes a mitzvah movie a family keepsake! Mares has the tools, experience and personnel that know just how to get you and your guests to relax and enjoy their role in your once in a lifetime movie!

(4) Family and friendships are at stake!! Thanksgiving dinner will never be the same again!

Your brother or uncle won’t be able to give you the video you want, even though it’s free! Non-professional are not adequately prepared with equipment, back-ups and experience to know how to film and tell an entertaining and comprehensive live event story. Plus, amateur videographers don’t capture the audio segments and sound bytes like the pro’s do. Over 1000+ live events over the last 15+ years has prepared us to carefully take care of all the details.

(3) Because your son and daughter have worked so hard for months to both learn and recite the Torah and to prepare their speeches. They deserve to actually see how well they did and hear how all those long hours of memorization paid off!

(2) Proof, bribe material, a blueprint…whatever definition fits for your kids to someday help your grandkids survive their own Mitzvah preparations! It’s a great parental bonding, and support resource.

And now… (drum rolls and smiles, please)
the top reason to have your Bar and Bat Mitzvah professionally filmed by Mares Productions….

You have spent a lot of time and money (ughh….probably more than you planned!) for the venue, food, entertainment and décor to be just right, so why wouldn’t you want to enjoy it for more than just the 6 hour party? With a professionally filmed and created movie of it all, you and your family can see everything from the guest’s point of view! Plus, it’s fun to see something different each time you play your dvd.
