Vietnam

I made this little film about 8 years ago called, "Reel On Vietnam". A documentary about Hollywood's portrayal of the American Vietnam War Veteran in cinema. Needless to say, my subjects had little good to say about Hollywood and the way tinsel town portrayed them in their movies. However, the little movie I made sprung a better idea for a documentary film on the same subject. The film I want to make now is about bringing together 8 men from both sides of history's conflict, put them all on a train from Saigon to Hanoi, stop along the way in the little villages that the main battles took place and have these Vietnamese and American Vets tell stories of the war and how they feel about it now. The Train, the old footage of the Vietnam war, the now beautifully healed villages, and most of all the stories these men will tell that may just change the minds of some of our young men and women from dying and fighting in the war we are now in, will make a fantastic movie.... I'm ready to do it now! The time has come. I will get funding this year and be shooting no later than 2006.

It's GREAT to be ALIVE!
