Hello,
On this day 150 years ago Robert E. Lee ordered his
Confederate troops to march north. This marked the beginning of the Gettysburg
Campaign. Exactly one month later the Battle of Gettysburg was decided on the
slopes of Cemetery Ridge.
Now prepare to see Gettysburg as you have never
seen it before. The Gettysburg Story.
Our film captures Gettysburg
- a unique, timeless American place - in a new way. Using cutting edge
technologies - aerial drone HD cinematography, time-lapse footage, dynamic
geolocation maps, and more - we are bringing the story of Gettysburg alive for
the latest generation. Narrated by Stephen Lang
(Avatar, Gettysburg), the film has been vetted by top
Gettysburg experts. See a preview here: www.GettysburgStory.com

The Wheatfield:
On a separate but
related not I am also producing a short film - The
Wheatfield:
To mark the 150th anniversary of
the Battle of Gettysburg, actor/writer Stephen Lang
has joined with filmmaker Jake Boritt, and animator/directors Alexander and
Adrian Smith to create THE WHEATFIELD - a ten minute film depicting the actions
of Medal of Honor recipient, James Jackson Purman, in the WHEATFIELD during the
Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. The film will
receive its first special screening at a gala reception on July 1,
2013 at the Visitor Center in Gettysburg, Pa.
Thank you to all who have supported the project and
