Wide Awake Films Selected as the Media Development Partner for the Congressional Medal of Honor Society Museum Renovation
KANSAS CITY – Wide Awake Films is excited to announce that it has been selected by museum exhibit design firm M.Catton & Company, LLC. as the primary media and interactive development partner for the newly renovated Medal of Honor Museum on the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in South Carolina. Wide Awake Films will work with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and M.Catton & Company on the creation of a new immersive Medal of Honor combat experience, videos that will highlight the actions of featured Medal of Honor recipients, and other interactive offerings that will showcase the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of these men and one woman who have earned our nation’s highest military decoration for valor.
“The Congressional Medal of Honor Society Museum entrusted us with this project, and we take that responsibility seriously. Wide Awake Films brings a high level of creativity, expertise, and professionalism to the team. M. Catton & Company are happy to have them as a partner to help tell these incredible stories,” says Corey Catton, Lead Production Integrator for M.Catton & Company.
Building on its growing legacy of creating award-winning films featuring our nation’s Medal of Honor recipients, Wide Awake Films is honored to be a part of this important project. “Every recipient’s story is one worth knowing. And everyone here at Wide Awake Films is truly honored by this opportunity to share these powerful Medal of Honor stories with new generations who will be deeply inspired by all that they learn,” says Shane Seley, Founder and Executive Producer at Wide Awake Films. This project is also an opportunity to build on the work that we have already produced for the Society. Our Telly-award-winning documentaries on Medal of Honor submariners in World War II and those who earned the medal at Omaha Beach have already begun to connect with an audience hungry for inspirational, uplifting stories.
Wide Awake Films’ efforts will be a part of a larger transformation of the Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point that began in September of 2023 and is slated to be opened in the Spring of 2024.
