Documentary filming in southern Appalachia
Karissa Blackburn
Shane Simmons and Jason Barton were tired of all of negative media attention southern Appalachia constantly receives, so they decided to change that by creating The Appalachian Project (TAP).
TAP is committed to promoting and preserving the heritage and culture of the Southern Appalachians. The project began with the idea of a documentary film in search of the true heart of this area — the people — and to preserve those memories and stories of days gone by...
...The founders of the page and producers of the documentary are dedicated to the idea of sharing Appalachian culture — not only with families within the Appalachians but also with the world.
“We hope that in creating this documentary it will illustrate an accurate depiction for those outside our area and help understand our way of life. We have launched our mission, our crusade, our adventure, to uncover the true spirit of the area we call home.”
