ABC Entertainment Marketing - This Is Home
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, ABC commissioned special documentary and commercial content about the heritage and traditions of Indigenous people. In addition, viewers in each local market of ABC Owned Television Stations received daily news coverage examining social and cultural issues that impact Indigenous people on local and national levels.
The concept for this film is based on the fact that a lot of Native Americans feel misrepresented, and how their communities feel invisible in contemporary culture. For this project, we created a true and proper representation of the contemporary Native American Community by highlighting members of several different tribes, languages, professions, body shapes, Afro-Indigenous representation, as well as a Two-Spirit cast member. The U.S. federally recognizes 574 different tribes, there is no single culture or language, so we focused on creating visibility for our everyday heroes, showing the world that we’re still here and always will be.
Voyager is a production company purpose-built to support filmmakers. Like the space program we’re named after, Voyager is the vessel by which we explore and expand the boundaries of commissioned storytelling. We produce films ranging from broadcast commercials and branded content to documentaries and narratives.
Founded in 2015 on the strength of director and cofounder Charles Frank’s intimate branded documentaries, Voyager quickly established itself as an incubator for new talent, garnering awards at the ADDYs, SHOOT New Directors Showcase, Young Guns, D&AD, Cannes Lions, One Screen, and CLIOs. Voyager and its directors have collaborated with agencies such as 72&Sunny, Anomaly, and Wieden+Kennedy, for clients like Champion, Kia, and McDonald's, among countless others.
The Voyager space program, our namesake, was a reckless and wholehearted pursuit of wonder and exploration. And we believe in that mission; as much about reminding ourselves of our own humanity as it is about our need to get our stories out there. We strive to produce work that is impactful beyond its purpose. Our mission is to connect the dots.
