Our Mission

Hiztorical Vision Productions, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization based in Opelika, Alabama, is dedicated to fostering positive change within local communities across Alabama. By collaborating closely with these communities, HVP endeavors to produce impactful short-film documentaries that shine a light on the often overlooked and underrepresented African American history within the region.

Our mission extends beyond mere storytelling; we strive to safeguard and honor the rich tapestry of African American heritage, preserving it for future generations. Through the transformative power of filmmaking, we not only educate the public but also empower and uplift marginalized communities. By amplifying the triumphs and resilience of African Americans, we seek to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our shared history.

Each project undertaken by Hiztorical Vision Productions serves as a beacon of inspiration, igniting dialogue and catalyzing social change. By bringing to life the untold narratives of Black history through engaging short films, we endeavor to inspire individuals from all walks of life. Our ultimate aim is to promote unity, empathy, and progress within our communities, fostering a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

Just got back from Berlin, Germany as part of the @Widen the Circle Fellowship, and I’m leaving forever changed.This journey reignited something deep in me and reshaped how I approach remembrance work—both through Hiztorical Vision Productions and my projects with Theo the Hiztorian LLC. One of the biggest lessons: what we do in the U.S. sends waves across the globe—both inspiring and unsettling. That truth made me pause, reflect on our victories, and sit with deep empathy for our wounds.The moment that struck me most:Before I left, I was an African American.In Berlin, I was just American.That shift in identity changed everything.This summer has moved me so much that I’ve decided to create a new channel under the Theo the Hiztorian brand—a space to share global reflections, lessons from the field, and the ongoing journey of truth-telling and healing.Thank you, Widen the Circle, for helping me see the world—and myself—with new eyes. 🌍✊🏾#WidenTheCircle #BerlinReflections #RemembranceWork #TheoTheHiztorian #HiztoricalVisionProductions #NewChannelComingSoon #GlobalPerspective #MemoryAndJustice ...
