Phil, thank you.  I think you might have found your calling. 

Giving credit where it is due.  Top to bottom, you did a f.u.king awsome job.  Loved your hospitality and insight throughout the night.  The cast was humble and pleasant to talk to as well as yourself.  Glad to finally meet the legend that it is PhillyB.  Mad respect sir.  

My dad is very opinionated and a harsh critic, you had him floored.  He really dove into the script on the way home and I could tell it hit him hard, in a good way.  He didn't get drafted but his friends and our immediate family did. 

It was a genuinely great time with friends, family and new peeps!

Again, thank you.

I'm not here to critique the movie itself, but I will say that:

 

while watching it, I noted that it was far more entertaining and interesting than anything on the Lifetime Network my wife watches

I was genuinely interested in what was going to happen to the characters next, more than whatever odd plot point or production thing that was on my mind at the time. There were some well acted scenes in the movie.  The story itself seems to be a good candidate for a larger production with more script polishing; there are solid themes to explore.

Just finishing a movie and making it into something resembling an actual story other people can follow is an accomplishment. Making something that long, with the logistics involved with a war story, on that budget and no large scale support is a big deal. What a terrific experience for Phil going forward, if you can make a freaking Vietnam war movie on your own you can probably do anything.

For your next movie I humbly suggest a documentary on SCPs toilet travels.
