OFFICIAL FEATURE DOCUMENTARY UPDATE - JUNE 2019 #2 |

Another Weekend, Another Screening Right now it's pretty much one weekend "on" and one weekend "off" for screenings. I returned from the "Three in a Row" screenings last week. The England event went really well. The Heritage League and Second Air Division Memorial Library provided great support for the film in Norwich. We had close to 130 people attend the screening. It was great to see the reunion group from the Heritage League and locals who live around Hardwick airfield attend. |

I quickly zipped back to the states and attended the Northeast Mountain Film Festival in Dillard, GA. It was an honor for the film to play during the festival's inaugural year. We had one couple show up from an hour away to see the film! On top of that, my Dad decided to drive in from Missouri 10 hours away to hangout. Lots of driving :) |

And finally, we dashed over to Savannah, GA to attend a screening at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. We started setting up this event with the museum a few months ago and the preparations paid off! Another bonus was having Hollywood actor Michael Cudlitz (Band of Brothers, The Walking Dead) attend the screening. For those that don't know, we shot an on-camera introduction and recorded narration with Michael for the film. Please look below for clips of Michael at the event. In the end, we had close to 300 people attend the screening and a lively and informative Q & A session took place with Mr. Cudlitz and myself. We thank the museum for their hospitality and support.
