Our Latest Project: Voices of Resilience
From March 2020 through March 2021, DC residents witnessed unprecedented events that left an indelible mark, including the COVID-19 pandemic, protests for racial justice, and political unrest.
During that time, Backstory Media and The Camera 1 Group filmed more than fifty interviews focusing primarily on the residents of Capitol Hill, the H Street Corridor, and Anacostia.
Now, Backstory aims to build on this robust body of existing work by filming new in-depth interviews and producing Voices of Resilience, a documentary that captures the essence of that pivotal year.
Our work on this documentary deepens the same skills we bring to our family legacy films and brand narratives: careful listening, sensitive interviews, and a deep respect for the communities we serve.
Whether you want to preserve your family's history, share your brand's origin story, or document your community's journey, Backstory Media is here to help. Our team specializes in crafting captivating Personal Legacy Films and engaging Brand Videos that resonate. Don’t wait for memories to fade—get in touch with us today. It’s time to tell your story.
