Welcome to Wide Awake Films' online store!

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.

Our projects have appeared on the History Channel, PBS, CBS, TNT, A&E, and the National Geographic Channel, among others. We've produced museum interpretive films for Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, The Jesse James Farm, and Perryville State Historic Site.

Wide Awake Films actively supports Civil War battlefield land preservation by donating a portion of our proceeds to preservation efforts.
