Operation In Their Boots, Production Bootcamp

Wow.
Just Wow.
The people @ Brave New Films hosted a production bootcamp for five Veterans aspiring to be professional filmakers last week - myself included.
and i gotta say, this has been one of the best experiences in my life.
these men, women didn't just give us lip service; kudos, a yellow ribbon and a pat on the back.
NO.
these men, women @ Brave New Films actually invested money, time, and a wealth of knowledge in a tangible effort to empower Veterans.
in essence, granting us an insiders view of the Industry.
no more assumptions on how it's done - because they showed us how it's done.
and the Veterans themselves -
truly talented individuals.
truly good guys.
and i consider them my friends.
now, it's time to work. time to make a documentary.
and hopefully we'll leave our mark on history.
something that youngins' hundreds of years from now can look back @.
these Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, who fought in the middle-east so many years ago.

WHO WERE THEY?
