Call for Fire
A tragic Shakespearean comedy for the modern war. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Hamlet were modernized and put into actual scenarios of the current war on terror, all while keeping the original black comedy and philosophical essence of the characters. We took Special Operations wounded warriors and trained them to make a film. Since the military does not give long vacations, we planned it like a mission, & filmed it entirety in one week using iPhones. To make up time artistically, we edited using the Fincher technique. The film was done in conjunction with DarkHorse Benefits, a 501(c)(3) that specializes in helping veterans transition to second careers.
