Essence Communications partnered with The City Unlimited to produce a 30-minute docu-style branded content piece in collaboration with Visit Williamsburg. Hosted by activist and cultural commentator Chelsea Miller, the goal was to create an inspiring, cinematic tourism film that spotlights the region’s deep-rooted Black history, thriving creative community, and modern-day Southern charm—all through a culturally authentic lens.
THE DELIVERY:
The City Unlimited oversaw full-scale production of the 20-minute film, blending documentary storytelling with travel and lifestyle content. Shot entirely on location in Williamsburg, VA, the film was hosted by Chelsea Miller, who guided viewers through interviews, heritage sites, and local gems. From scripting and casting to cinematography and post, our team brought Essence’s vision to life—resulting in a visually rich, culturally resonant piece that redefined what a tourism campaign could feel like
