The stories we tell become the legacy we leave.

What We Do

True Story Productions creates premium legacy and brand videos for families, individuals, and companies who have a story worth telling, and want it told right.

We work with families who want to preserve a parent or grandparent's remarkable life. With individuals who are ready to share their own. And with brands looking to connect with their audience in a way that's authentic, compelling, and built to last.

The Producer

From the courtroom at the O.J. Simpson criminal trial to tracking serial killers for America's Most Wanted, award-winning producer Anne Garofalo Paterno has spent 30 years creating hundreds of hours of true crime television for some of the most well-known networks in the business - A&E, Investigation Discovery, Oxygen, Peacock, National Geographic, Smithsonian Channel, and FOX.

After decades immersed in the world of true crime, Anne has decided to broaden her horizons and make a deliberate turn toward something more life-affirming... the fascinating stories in every family, every life, and every brand. True Story Productions is the result: a boutique video production company built on the belief that every story deserves to be told with the same craft and attention that network television demands. The stories Anne tells may be changing, but her standards haven't.
