Today we’re releasing a concept scene from the upcoming film, 9 Days a Soldier, and we are really excited to share it.

9 Days a Soldier is a true story about a pivotal moment in the history of our nation during the final days of the War of 1812. But it is also a story of boys becoming men. These boys, ages 14 and 15, stepped up, volunteered, and made a real difference in the fight. Their cause was worthy of their courage. We would like to thank Caleb Milby of Los Angeles, California for flying in to film this scene with us, as well as all the great crew and cast that invested their time to share this vision.  We would also like to thank all of you who helped with financing for this stage in our development. We couldn’t have done this without you! We can’t wait to make the entire film and to share it with the world.

Yesterday we shot a concept scene from the film 9 Days a Soldier. We had a world class collection of crew, gear, talent, and location that came together to capture our scene with great skill and quality.

We’ve selected an intense scene for our 9 Days a Soldier Concept Scene: Scene 79 - EXT - Old Stone Mill – Morning

We will film the scene using a brand new Arri Alexa LF Mini. This camera is probably the hottest camera in cinema today – the envy of many cinematographers. We have a full crew on standby to put together the lights, costumes, and gear we need. This scene is going to look fantastic! We’re making tremendous progress on the planning side. We haven’t yet met our funding goal but are confident we’ll get there with the help of people who are passionate telling this and other stories about what makes America the greatest country in the history of the world. Contact us if you'd like to see the screenplay for this important scene.
