The Wyoming Frontier Prison is an amazing historic site.  Built and operating in the late 1900's, this facility was still in use up until 1981.  There has even been a feature film named "Prison" made on location art this site. Today, the site has been re-imagined into a wonderful museum complete with daily tours given on a seasonal schedule.

We recently engaged with this client to produce social media content and on-site informational media for playout in the museum of the Prison.  The production phase has already been completed , i.e. filming inside most areas of the prison, capturing exterior aerial shots with our drone, and some storyline development.  What remains is some research on inmates, creating a finished story, recording voice-overs, and some other administrative tasks.  This is a grant funded project  that we hope to have completed by the end of the year.

The video below is something we filmed years ago for another agency.  It is the current video that is on the official Wyoming Frontier Prison Website.
