Hi everyone,
Independent Film Week in New York City started on Saturday, and Brian and I are pretty pumped. Film Week is a sort of film festival for unfinished projects. We have meetings with several TV and film companies this week, and it should all be a great learning experience at the least.
Brian and I also met quite a few filmmakers who are avid supporters of the veteran community, and it looks like we may be able to dig up some more work for the Marines we worked with from the Wounded Marine Careers Foundation (www.woundedmarinecareers.org) during the course of shooting Chosin.
Stay tuned in-- we should have some exciting news to share in the upcoming weeks.

Production Complete
Hi everyone. We finished our tour of Texas last month and less than 24-hours after we got back home to the east coast, we drove to Syracuse, NY. Texas was a great success and we interviewed four more veterans in Syracuse, to include 1stLt Joe Owen of B 1/7 and author of the book Colder Than Hell. Brian also conducted a presentation to the most recent class of veterans attending the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities, or EBV. Brian is an alumnus of the program at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University and this film project was born from his time at the school. Syracuse University has a long history of supporting veterans and this program is just another way that they are opening doors for our nation's heroes when they come back home.
We are now getting ready for Independent Film Week, which is just over the horizon: September 19th. We finished a 15 minute "sampler" DVD for our presentation at the event, but we are keeping it under wraps for now. Brian, Adam and I spent last weekend glued to the computer for two days to finish the DVD and the coffee pot was working overtime with us. We still have hours and hours of footage to dig through over the net few months aa we edit, but we are determined to have a final cut ready by Christmas with a January release date. We'll keep you posted.
As we finished up production, another New Jersey Newspaper, The Hub, took interest in our project and they printed an article on the front page this morning. You can read the story here: http://hub.gmnews.com/news/2009/0903/front_page/003.html
Also, word of the film reached as far as South Korea this month, and two different radio stations conducted phone interviews with Brian. The people of South Korea by and large have a strong reverence for the veterans of the Korean War that sacrificed so much to protect South Korea. The shows have already aired, and we will post audio clips on the website as soon as we are able to get MP3 files from the radio stations.
Semper Fi,
Anton
