Director Commentary: I love the military life and I love my Marines. As a filmmaker, I want to continue to serve that community by bringing a version of their stories to life on the big screen. With the unique challenges they face physically and psychologically, it is imperative that through performance art we instigate a dialogue about the complex ways they deal with their personal lives.
