“The Outer Edge” tribute to the Outer Banks’ people and places premieres January 8-10
The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau recently announced the public unveiling of The Outer Edge video series celebrating the people and nature that make the Outer Banks community and culture so special. A year in the making, the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau is holding three local premieres:
- January 8: Kill Devil Hills Movie 10
- January 9: The Pioneer Theater
- January 10: Cape Hatteras Secondary School

“We’re really proud of this project as part of a greater commitment to change the way in which we promote the Outer Banks, celebrating and working with the local community,” explains Lee Nettles, Executive Director. “This series feels more like a set of short films in the way they have been produced, with local residents as the stars.”
The Outer Edge is a collection of six videos calling attention to elements of living on and loving the Outer Banks, showcasing what the people do to care for the islands and conversely, what the islands do for those who emotionally invest in them.
Patrons to the premieres will see locals who live their passions through photography, commercial fishing, boat building, parsing the weather, spreading the grassroots music scene and locally created products.
“We invite everyone who loves the Outer Banks to come out to this first look screening, from those who were featured in the project themselves to the folks who want to get to know the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau better,” says Nettles. “We also used local videographer and photographer production talent in the telling of our community story. It’s our hope that we can all take a little pride in what they have to say and what the series collectively shows the world about where we live.”
