Loss of Innocence

[gi-rene]

A film in the works by my units very own young director/writer: Brett Hodgson. So show a little support, I'll see if I can make it up to help him shoot this thing, either with my gear, my person, or other ways.

Looks interestting, his first stat in the trailer is wrong though. the average age of a WW2 soldier was in the mid twenties, his stats sound like the ones for Viet Nam.

Is he telling a story from both sides US and German?

Yeah and you aren't the first to point that out. He's stated that its the late war draft age, and I should say you should be objective about this... The kid is still in high school and he's damn lucky to be a re-enactor and have access to a resource of equipment and extras/actors.

I've seen his first draft and yes, its written from two points of view during an engagement in Italy, but I can't say if its changed since what I saw.

Oh well sliver me timbers, slack cut, didn't know that, HS eh!! Must say even if I was a buff then and I was, yeah my grasp on little stuff was weak.

I well give kudos for the duel POV I think more war movies need to have some balance like this so people understand that war is really hell and for the soldiers fighting it a real horror show, no matter the side.

Sounds very to me, wish I was that luckly and dedicated when I was that young!! I'm looking forward to the next update on this project.

Cheers

That's looking good! Keep us informed, will ya?

[gi-rene]

Will do. We're trying to find a shoot date in April that will work. The first weekend he had coincided with a CHG re-enactment and a lot of guys were going to be out of town. Now he's trying to find a better one, I don't think our unit is the only group of extras/actors, I think he has friends that are involved as well and trying to get us all together seems to be the hard part.

But the Sgt in the beginning is good ol' Fernie one of our squad leaders and Rifle Grenade Expert (took out 20 people last re-enactment I heard)...
