Original Production
Educational short videos, documentaries, interviews, cultural features, and heritage storytelling initiatives produced in-house and with community collaborators.
Wave Public Media is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and independent digital public media platform. We produce and distribute free educational programming that documents Vietnamese arts, traditions, and diaspora identity — we amplify the artists, scholars, and filmmakers carrying that story forward.
WAVE Public Media exists to preserve and advance Vietnamese cultural heritage, artistic expression, and diaspora narratives for present and future generations. Every program we produce or distribute is free, non-commercial, and built to outlast a single news cycle — cultural literacy is a long-term public good, and we treat it that way.
We document traditional arts, fashion heritage (including áo dài), food, performance traditions, language, and oral histories — building a public archive of Vietnamese cultural knowledge that future generations can return to.
We partner with artists, scholars, filmmakers, and cultural practitioners across the diaspora, distributing their work to wider audiences and adding their perspectives to the public record.
All WPM programming is distributed free of charge across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook — meeting younger and geographically dispersed diaspora audiences where they already are, without paywalls or advertising clutter.
Our emerging creator platform makes space for next-generation Vietnamese voices working across documentary, short video, podcast, and digital media formats — so the people shaping the diaspora's future have a public to meet.
WPM combines original production with community distribution and cultural preservation — four interlocking lanes that together build a living digital archive of Vietnamese diaspora life. Full programs →
