Legacybox, which originally started as an e-commerce company named Southtree, was started in 2013 by Adam Boeselager (left) and Nick Macco (right). These two were former roommates at Lee university in Tennessee and orginially started Southtree out of their garage. Southtree served as a foundation for what is now known as their second company: Legacybox. Legacybox digitizes, that is puts old media such as VCR and tapes, onto a digital platform such as a flashdrive. While the two are compelled to digitize media well, their foundational desire is to preserve family memories so that family history may be maintained. What a neat, creative way to preserve family life! Legacybox IS the “largest and most trusted home movie digitizer”; over 850,000 families in America trust use or have used Legacybox.
The success of this company can largely be attributed to its founders. The two roommates have a unique passion and drive for this company’s success. They started the company with a very successful Kickstarter campaign and in 2017 were named one of the fastest growing companies in America by Inc. Magazine. Based out of Chattanooga Tennessee, Legacybox has a staff of about 200 professionals which digitize the different forms of older media by hand and communicate with customers while the digitizing process is occurring so they stay up to date.
Pictured below is a current option for one wishing to digitize their media. Typically, the most popular forms of digitizing are thumb drives, digital(phone), and DVD. Legacybox makes the process of digizting quite easy; after the customer picks what format of digitizing he/she would like, Legacybox sends the desired box size to the customer with a barcode sheet and prepared shipping label located inside. This makes the process of sending in old media much more convenient for the customer. If this was not already enough, Legacybox also sends a welcome guide with instructions indicating the proper steps to take for customers. I love the simplicity and directness of this company. They surely thought from different angles and perspectives as they have made the consumer’s experience quite friendly.

Before Full Time Filmmaker, Peter was a director, cinematographer, and editor for Youtube channel devinsupertramp, whose channel focused on a wide variety of videos, from video game-inspired action shorts to incredible athletic feats to beautiful shorts of iconic locations around the world. Devinsupertramp has garnered plenty of attention with filmmaking enthusiasts, with their smooth camera work and editing style, thanks to both the creator of the channel, Devin Graham, and Peter Walbeck. Peter aided Devin’s channel from the beginning of 2013 to August of 2015, before departing to begin his own channel, called Peter Walbeck, that had the same feel as devinsupertramp. However, on Peter’s new channel, he began focusing on the behind-the-scene aspects of creating such videos, such as recommended equipment and tools. He even delved into the world of product reviewing, where he will pit cameras or camera equipment against their competitors to list their pros and cons and give his thoughts on which product would be best for what scenarios

With fear of shaming his mother and failing in the film industry, Agarwal decided to pursue engineering. Unfortunately, he failed in this industry because the material left him uninterested and wanting more. After graduating with an engineering degree, Agarwal decided to take a different approach, not thinking instead of thinking, because he already failed. As a result, he co-founded a company that sells school and college merchandise in India at the age of twenty-two with his friend Rohn Malhotra. Alma Mater began at zero, but grew to be an impressive million dollar company working with over 400 schools and colleges across India. The idea began when they had a desire to donate to their high school. Charitable donations quickly developed into selling merchandise as a way for schools to receive more funding.
