Independent Filmmaker To Reenact World War II Battle - IndieTalk
An Ohio filmmaker gets ready for battle.
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) July 10, 2005 -- Ohio filmmaker Peter John Ross
(Sonnyboo Productions) suits up for battle in the independent film world. Ross,
an award-winning filmmaker and a member of the IndieTalk (www.indietalk.com) filmmaking
community, has tapped into the World War II reenactment community to make his
feature film Horrors of War possible.
On Saturday, July 16th, World War
II re-enactors from all over the Midwest will gather at a private residence in
West Jefferson, Ohio, for the film shoot. With them they will bring authentic
tents, jeeps, tanks, and other props that will help make the movie as accurate
as possible within the budget constraints of an independent film.
“We’ve
tried to do something fairly original. We’ve combined the X-Files and Band of
Brothers,” said Ross. “There will be a lot of action, but with a science fiction
twist. The re-enactors bring with them an authenticity to ground our story in
some kind of reality.”
Peter John Ross was able to utilize the many
online resources that IndieTalk has to offer to help him with the
pre-production, as well as the production of the film. The online community
allows filmmakers to post cast and crew ads, and has a very popular message
board area where filmmakers can network or chat.
"We're excited for
Peter. We love it when members of the community have success stories, and we're
convinced this will be a huge success," said Dan O'Berry, IndieTalk
Founder.
Video and television rights for Horrors of War were pre-sold in
8 countries at the Cannes Film Festival and Market in May, and additional sales
on the final movie are expected this November at the American Film Market in
Santa Monica, California.
