OPELIKA —
Hiztorical Vision Productions has received a $14,600 grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts to fund the Bama Black History 365 Internship Program (BBH365).
With these funds, Hiztorical Vision Productions will collaborate with the BBH365 interns to educate local Alabamian communities about the cultural significance of John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital in Tuskegee, Alabama. This grant signifies that through this project, Hiztorical Vision Productions is making Alabama’s communities stronger and our state’s arts and culture sector more vibrant.
“The mission of Historical Vision Productions is to provide underrepresented communities with a platform to tell, but ultimately preserve, their history through the art of filmmaking,” said Executive Director Theo M. Moore II. “Our short films are free and accessible on our website, which has immediately impacted learners nationwide. With the support of the Alabama State Council on the Arts, HVP launched the Bama Black History 365 internship program, allowing college students to work with a community to help tell their stories to the public.”
Additionally, Hiztorical Vision Productions recently announced the debut of its newest project, which will premiere for free at the Opelika Public Library April 29, 2023, at 2 p.m.
“I am excited to announce that on April 29 at Opelika Public Library, the BBH365 interns will be debuting their film project on the history of John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital to surrounding communities,” Moore said. “This grant awarded by the Alabama State Council on the Arts enables Hiztorical Vision Productions to reach new audiences, foster community development, provide the highest quality programming and demonstrate the importance of arts as a key component for quality of life in Alabama.”
