Film Project: Honoring US Korean War Vets- 60 yrs.
September 17th, 2010
I was in S. Korea this past week, helping my wife, Lindsay film a documentary about US Veterans being honored for their service during the Korean War. It was a group effort and our son Josh was behind the camera this time. We were among the invited guests of the S. Korean government and witnessed firsthand the profound thankfulness they overwhelmingly showed our Veterans.
On Wednesday we filmed a spectacular re-enactment of Gen. MacArthur and the Marines landing during the famous battle at Inchon (an area now known as Incheon), where US troops and S.Korean troops fought side by side. We were so humbled by the gratitude demonstrated by the S. Korea citizens for America’s role in safeguarding their freedom. ROK Vets came up to us with tears in their eyes to thank us. It was a very inspiring trip and the documentary will strive feature this special bond that was forged 60 years ago this month. We will feature photos and film clips of this extraordinary experience in the week ahead.

Editor’s Note: “Children of Gitmo”
September 16th, 2010
Last summer I was invited to do documentary film about a musical group from Los Angeles, as they journeyed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As guests of Armed Forces Entertainment, we traveled to Gitmo with the “Party Animals.” They entertained our soldiers and their families stationed at the base. Who knew there was an elementary school with over 150 kids at Gitmo? This film is a behind-the-scenes look at our experience.
