Hello All, Along with a Producer and an award winning Director, I'm laying the groundwork for a World War Two era short film. Although self-funded the film will benefit from the involvement of industry professionals, using high-end equipment used in the top cinema releases, including a full orchestral score and a special effects team. As a group we are all share a keen interest in this era of our history, with a director who is particularly knowledgeable about the period. We are setting out to make a respectful, engaging film about a British soldier's personal account of a sequence of events. At the moment, we're putting together a story and would love to have the involvement of those who experienced the war first hand, or of those who have learned of a friend or relative's experience who think they may be able to help. As this will be a short film, we are really looking to hear accounts of a short time period (perhaps just a day), which we can condense into a script of the correct length with your cooperation. Any contributions are welcome, but as this is a self-funded production we are unlikely to be able to tell a story involving large scale conflict (eg. lots of tanks or aircraft). We are professionals in the film industry, putting this film together for the love of film-making and so we can hopefully bring somebody's personal story to a wider audience. Thanks for reading. If you think you might be able to help, I would be more than happy to answer any questions. Kindest regards, Richard
Welcome mate, your first choice will be to decide which year you want the film to be set in, which theater, and which battle you want to focus on. Regards, TBA
Hi TBA, Thanks for your response. The film will be shot in fields and forest of the UK, so that restricts us to European conflict. Further than that, we're more interested in finding a unique and engaging story rather than restricting our search to a specific period or battle. I welcome anybody who feels they have a story to tell. Best, Richard
Greetings mate, You might want to head over here and create a thread over there, as this is technically an intro forum. Include what all info you are in your power to give, like what environments you are willing to take into considrations, a few snaps of the forests? perhaps you want to include an HQ etc.. Do you want it to be real life story or a fictional story based on real events? you know all the stuff... just put it into a thread in that forum. Other than that Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay! Regards, TBA
Ok Mr I'm a big move short story I got an award winning Director, Your all over my Battle Maps, you sound disoriented seeking one account of so many, one day Battles that caused sheer Carnage! Lets get this straight, your ask us to tell you a one day scenario in a Battle. If I tell you a story I woke up that day eat dug a Slit Trench took a nap watched for the Enemy all day eat then went to sleep. Would same thing but changed the Tanks tracks. Not very interesting. Have you ever heard the expression Hurry-Up and Waite. You need to have Direction The When Who What Where and Why, Questions you must ask yourself First. Which Country or many involved, A Battle in which theater? Like Normandy The US, Canadian, British with Polish 1944 after D-Day You want the Real Deal or a make believe story? Just surround one person or many, a Regiment or an Operation there were so many. Seems your asking us to submit a Short Story, Next question My Royalties$$$. I'll Give you a great Story of Pure "Gameness" one such Regiment, a one day battle of Pure Sheer Butchery. This Canadian Regiment had already suffered heavy casualties. B.W. 1st Battalion suffered more casualties than any other Canadian infantry battalion in Northwest Europe according to figures published in “The Long Left Flank” Written by Jeffrey Williams. Considered as a well trained and Regimentalie motivated playing an Avangard Roll in many Battles, with 19 Battle Honours in WWII Their Heroic Gallantry is undeniably ever questionable, Queens Regulations.
