About the project

Homemade is a feature length documentary and online outreach project highlighting the struggles and triumphs of military men and women who have been injured in combat, their families, doctors and support networks. Our goal is to make a powerful piece of cinema that gives men and women who have served the opportunity to share their story directly with the American people.

Using the signature weapon of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, the Improvised Explosive Device (IED), as the common denominator in each individual's story, the film will trace the ripple effects of one figurative blast. We will explore the effects of injuries including but not limited to the loss of limbs, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The film will expound on the tragedy of war as well as celebrate human strength and unique ability that tragedy has to unite us.

Synopsis

Homemade explores the relationships created and destroyed by a single, figurative Improvised Explosion Device (IED). One detonation marks the beginning of a ripple effect from Afghanistan and Iraq to our hospitals and homes.

Through the exploration of both the visible and invisible wounds of war the film will address the stigmas around physical and mental wellbeing through the voices of combat veterans, active duty military, doctors, mental health specialists and family members. We examine the effects of these wars on the hearts and minds of our communities while highlighting stories of recovery and hope after war.

ABOUT THIS TEAM

Jason has photographed the advertising needs of the United States Marine Corps for the past 15 years. His work for the Marines has been used online, in brochures, on posters and billboards to help recruit people to fight for our country.

Danielle is an award winning filmmaker dedicated films that address a range of social issues. Danielle founded Clear Films in 2006. She is the recipient of a Cine Golden Eagle Award, Accolade Award and the NYSCA grant for her first film, When Clouds Clear. After working with Jason on USMC commercials and later meeting the men and women at ReMIND, she was inspired to make a film that could effect measurable change.

Together the directors want to spark an ongoing and lasting dialog through this project. Our goal is to make a cinematic, story driven documentary film that raises awareness, support and sends a message to all veterans they are neither forgotten or alone.

Production schedule

Friday, February 15, 2013 to Monday, September 15, 2014

Distribution plan

From the money raised on Seed & Spark we will make a short film that can be used for fundraising, grants as well as submit to film festivals. This will open doors for the feature film as we approach networks such as HBO, Sundance Channel, and POV. The premier of the feature will take place in 2014, as we pull out the last troops, at festivals such as Sundance, SXSW, SilverDocs, Full Frame. We will also screen in communities that have heavy military population such as DocSide Film Festival in San Antonio, San Diego Film Festival, Camden International Film Festival and many more. During our film festival run we will follow steps to make ourselves eligible for key award ceremonies. Ultimately our goal is to spark ongoing dialog between military personnel and their communities and are seeking sponsors to organize screenings in military base communities all over the world. Our online release will also target the military community through their local VA and support organizations.
