So as a couple of you folk will know, i'm making a short film set during the second world war. In my research I have only come across one other WW2 short that follows a British soldier called, .303, after the ammunition that the Lee-Enfield No4 shoots.

So the story follows a British paratrooper during the invasion of Sicily as he is dropped behind enemy lines alone. Low on ammunition he tries to find his friends when he becomes locked in a small firefight with a German soldier.

The film is interesting as the main character doesn't speak, at all. This is probably because the actor is from Malta as the only Brit with any lines is his pal which has some homo-erotic undertones when He carves a message into a bullet and the lead picks it up and kisses it.

But our main antagonist is not the Germans, but a little boy which is quite strange. This probably did happen during the war and I would have loved to have seen the boys story if this was a feature length film. His realization of what he had done and what his family would have thought.

The colouring for the film is very rich and makes it feel like a Mediterranean Band of Brothers. which makes sense being shot in Malta. It won best film & cinematography in the Malta International TV Short Film Festival

I like this film because I now know first hand how difficult it must have been to make. Even just the costumes are extremely difficult to find, never mind the car and locations. In my film we follow two British paratroopers on Operation Overlord. Mis-dropped and wounded, Bolt must get Tarbert back to the allied lines before he dies.

The film is almost underway as all the props are ready with only a few costumes for minor characters are needed. Cast and crew are ready to go and we'll be using a new stedi-cam rig for the action scenes which should be a lot of fun.

As far as stories go, it's short and interesting enough to keep you watching to the end. Hopefully my film will be as good as this one. Rocketpunch7 (talk) 10:10, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
