Virginia Voices
Award-Winning Museum and TV Broadcasted Film
Virginia Voices is an award-winning documentary film produced for the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, based on the premise: today is tomorrow's history. The film combines powerful cinematic images with crowd-sourced stories, from hundreds of Virginians, to create the first state history of its kind. Revealing the history of Virginia through the eyes of people who live and work in the state.
Orange Frame reached out to Virginians via morning talk shows, town hall meetings, as well as festivals and conventions. We mailed participants digital video cameras and asked them to document their lives. The team also created a website for people to upload their own self-made footage. When the cameras came back, each contained an intimate and unique personal story; the living history of Virginia.
For over 5 years, the film played in a 500 seat theater at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and aired on Virginia affiliate PBS stations. Virginia Voices won a gold medal CINDY award in the short film category (the most competitive).
