Begin their film — Furry Friends Records

Furry Friends Records

Tell us who they were. We will take it from there.

This takes about fifteen minutes. There are no wrong answers and nothing needs to be written well — fragments are better than paragraphs. The strange, specific things are what become the songs.

Your answers are sent securely when you choose a film. The small, specific things are what give the songs their shape.

Eight short steps

Step one

Start with the basics.

Their name

Dog or cat

Breed or best guess

Years together

Where are you in this

If they are still here, we will make a celebration record instead of a memorial.

Step two

How did they come into your life?

The shelter, the parking lot, the box outside a gas station, the friend who could not keep them. Tell it the way you tell it out loud — the numbers and small details are gold: what it cost, what you were driving, who talked you into it.

Their arrival

Rachel’s answer to this question became track one of the Gus EP.

Step three

Now the ridiculous, specific details.

Four to five memories or quirks. What did they steal, what were they scared of, what did they do at the same time every day, what did they do that nobody taught them. This is the part that keeps the film from feeling like anyone else’s.

Step four · optional

The goodbye, only if you want to.

Some people write pages here and some skip it entirely. Both are fine, and the film works either way. If you do write it, we handle it carefully: the last song resolves upward, never leaves you in the parking lot.

The last day, or the days after

Step five

What do you want to feel when you hear it?

This is the most important field on the form. It decides the shape of the soundtrack — where the joy sits, whether the grief arrives at all, and how it ends.

Pick what fits, then say it in your own words

In your words

Step six

Choose the sound of the soundtrack.

Genre and vibe

Voice

A song or artist that feels right (optional)

Step seven

Add their photographs.

Three to ten photos, and any short videos you have — the film is cut from them. One clear portrait becomes the cover painting; the rest help shape the film, sleeve back, and liner booklet. Blurry old ones are welcome — those are usually the good ones.

Step eight

One last detail, and then we can begin.

We will save the story first. Then you can choose the film that feels right.

Your name

Where drafts should land

Your co-producer credit

This film is made from your memories, so your name goes on the sleeve as co-producer. Tell us how it should read — your name, your family, or the kids. Leave it blank and we will use the name above.
