About Us
Cinderic Documentaries Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in DeLand, Florida. The organization is dedicated to
preserving history and traditional culture by recording fading places and lifestyles, including livelihoods rich in tradition, that
are unique to Florida through documentary photography and storytelling. Cinderic Documentaries, Inc. (CDI) was
established in 2006 after discovering that much of the state’s history and culture was vanishing or being overlooked and
forgotten. The organization was created to provide outlets to cite the significance of the common and dignity of individuals
whose background were rooted in Florida’s past.
Cinderic Documentaries Inc. has been a leader in oral history production and documentary photography since it’s founding.
Our stories make us great as individuals. By sharing these stories, we become a community. By enabling these conversations,
we all benefit. CDI has listened to stories of people out on front porches, in barns, living rooms, workshops, and fishing
boats --- on the edge of their experiences. Their stories allowed a glimpse into their lives and the roads that brought them to
today. It’s important to realize where we have been to know where we’re going in the future.
Through research, fieldwork, and exhibitions, the programming of CDI provides thought-provoking material to the general
public. It is vital we remember where we have been through a means that gives an honest sense of unique ways of Florida life
through projects that evoke the true essence of the places and their diverse populations that make Florida unique.
