Testimonials
Henry Martens –Family History Keepsake DVD, Farm history Keepsake DVD
To anyone who is thinking about having some DVD’s made up, I would highly recommend Hotshot Media , phone number 204-740-0907.
I have had family photos made into DVD’s as a family history. Also, a 60 year history of our farm. They have a real feel for this work and are very sensitive to what you would like to have done. Again I would highly recommend them.

Maureen and Lloyd Lee – Family History Keepsake DVD, 50th Anniversary Presentation DVD and Birthday Keepsake DVD
BRIAN – We want to express our thanks for the great work you have done making 3 DVD’s for us. Lee family, relatives and Business was our first and came from Lloyd’s dad’s slides. Our second adventure was our 50th Wedding Anniversary that you did this spring, we played it at our party and had great reviews. Our third video you just finished for my sister’s birthday. She is Down’s Syndrome and we know she will enjoy the DVD many times over.
We will have much enjoyment over the years from these videos and the real plus is they take up very little space.
Thank you very much. Maureen & Lloyd Lee

I just want to thank Brian and Bev again for the fantastic work you did for me and my family. Over the years, watching our home videos on VHS has been very special to my family and what a relief it is to now watch them forever on DVD. It was comforting to know that our memories were in the hands of such friendly and professional people. What a delight it was to watch over the Christmas holidays with my family. Thank you for all that you’ve done. I’m looking forward to working with you again in the future. Candice Brown
Len Fisher
Thank you so much for converting our many amateur films to a disk which presents them in a professional manner complete with a musical background. Needless to say the convenience of playing a disc instead to wrestling with projectors and film strips, rewinding etc. makes it a pleasure to view. Thank you both again

L Carels – Home Movie Transfer
We had tubs of VHS tapes of our children growing up. The tapes found their way to storage and were collecting dust. I took them to Hotshot Media to have the transferred to DVD. We had copies made for each of our children as christmas gifts…they were a big hit! I would like to them for their terrific work. I will be returning to them to have all our VHS tapes transferred in the future,. It’s comforting to know they will all be safe on DVD after all..you cannot replace memories. Thanks again.
