WNIT Presents 'Our Town: Warsaw, Winona Lake' Documentary Film
Posted
Staff Report-
WNIT Public Television will air the program “Our Town: Warsaw – Winona Lake” Aug. 21.
It is a video documentary featuring the people, places and happenings of Warsaw-Winona Lake as experienced by those who call the community home.
The program will air at 7:30 p.m. (repeats at 9:30 p.m.) as part of WNIT’s August Membership Campaign.
With a little training from WNIT’s production team, local citizens became volunteer videographers.
Armed with their own home camcorders, they created a video scrapbook of the stories that make Winona Lake and Warsaw special.
There were no restrictions as to the age or experience of the volunteer and no cost to participate, just a willingness to be part of the project.
When the shooting was complete, WNIT’s professional staff then used these video recordings.
They also used interviews done by WNIT’s producers with the volunteer videographers to professionally edit the stories and produce a documentary that reflects the emotional ties of the people who live, love and are passionate about Warsaw and Winona Lake.
A special preview event for volunteers and their guests will be held prior to the broadcast date.
The “Our Town” series is all about these towns and the people within them who help tell the stories of what makes their corner of the world unique. That includes everything from historical sites, to traditional high school hang-outs, the churches, the college, the lake, the shopping districts and other places that are known only to those who live in the area.
