Hello from NYC

This is my first post. I'm a filmmaker, fundraising for the short film "Flanders Fields Miracle" inspired by the Christmas Truce. I've gathered tons of background info from the internet and from the book "Christmas Truce" but I'm sure there's more that I don't have. If you have any stories or advice to share I'd be most appreciative. Even though my film is inspired by I'd still like to keep it as accurate as possible.

Please check out my fundraiser page at:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/626444655/flanders-fields-miracle

 

Max, welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks for the welcome!! Lots of things have been happening to me since I first logged in here. We took down the Kickstarter campaign because we changed the focus of the film from a narrative to a documentary so our funding goals became diiferent. But along the way we've been in touch with several historians who we'll interview in the documentary. Any ideas you guys might have for me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi Max,
Welcome to the forum. Are you going to have the game of football in no mans land? What about the German soldier who held a xmas tree over the top of the trench before standing on top? What about the officers that tried to stop their men from meeting up with the Germans and even threatened to shoot them if they did? Its a great story umongst all the bitter fighting and i wish you all the luck with it. Please keep us in touch with how its going and if you need any questions answered we will do our best to help you.

Hi Sniper,

I think I'm having problems with my MAC because I've responded three times to your message but it's not appearing on the thread. Hope this one makes it.

We've gotten responses from historians, scholars, and authors and at the end, we'll have enough material for a full-length feature documentary.

I've made note of your suggestions and will make sure they make it into the film. If anything else comes to mind, please let me know.

Best,

Max

 

Sorry about that. I tried Sniper again. Hope it doesn't show up in your email again.

 

Know worry s Max, your film project looks exciting good luck with it.
