Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia

Remote pretrial appearance in nearer federal court

Is it possible, either through Federal law and/or valid motion, to be able to conduct pretrial procedures and hearings for a case, that require an appearance, remotely and/or wholly in a Federal Court that is much closer to one's residence than in the Fed. Court where the case had to be filed, which is much further away.
