"This video combines creative filming with an eye for authenticity and a sense of the vast scale of battle. To distill these virtues from a large reenactment is a real achievement."

Wide Awake Films specializes in high-quality, historically-accurate documentaries. Since 1991, our award-winning production team has traveled across the United States filming large-scale re-enactments and producing original, award-winning Civil War documentaries. Wide Awake Films boasts some of the most technically and creatively skilled videographers, editors, writers and creative professionals in the country.

Blending our historical foundation with a seasoned grasp of technology, we craft each film with precision and vivid realism. We strive to create visually compelling stories of the past and to capture the spirit of each battle. We've built a network of experts—historians, preservationists, and re-enactors—whose input and support are paramount to our success. We've produced such films as Bad Blood: The Border War that Triggered the Civil War, The Battle of Franklin: Five Hours in the Valley of Death, and Spotsylvania Courthouse: The Clash of Grant and Lee at the Crossroads. Our projects have appeared on the History Channel, PBS, CBS, TNT, A&E, and the National Geographic Channel, among others.
