Stellar review for The 95th!
November 6th, 2009DVD Extra: Nick, “Part of life we didn’t count on…”
October 15th, 2009In this excerpt from one of The 95th DVD extras, Nick discusses the draft and the effect it had on families and the soldiers, and how he kept his mind clear from the horrors of war upon his return to the states: dancin’ and cattin’!
Scene: Nick on fraternizing
October 8th, 2009Nick is such a character. I love the way he tells a story, how he conveys his thoughts, the language he uses. Was always a pleasure to talk with him and he never ceased to make us laugh.
In this scene from the documentary, Nick expounds upon his love for chasing the ladies, and how, during the war, it was a necessary distraction to retain his sanity during the most horrific of circumstances.
Oh, and his wife Harriet’s delivery of a lemonade could not have been timed more perfectly during the discussion on “fraternizing”.

The 95th trailer screens at Midwest Film Festival tonight!
September 1st, 2009Tonight at the Midwest Film Festival, right before the feature length documentary Being Bucky, the trailer for The 95th: The Iron Men of Metz will be screened. Special thanks to our co-producer Mary Kay Cook for arranging the screening and to Mike McNamara and all the rest of the fine people at the MWFF!
Scene: Patton and The Foot Soldiers
August 30th, 2009World War II made General George Patton a legend, but ask those on the front lines who won the war, and they will not hesitate to say “the foot soldier”. The opinions about Patton within the ranks of the 95th are varied. Some revered the man, like Steve, while others questioned his tactics and motives, as Chuck relays in his story about Patton’s nickname: “Blood and Guts”.
Tour of Metz: Part 1
August 20th, 2009Part 1 of our visual tour through historic Metz, France. Many of these images are used throughout the documentary, but some did not make the final cut, so we wanted to give you a chance to see them on the website.
Shot on 35mm film and Super 8mm film. The Super 8 shots are my favorites. The camera and the film stock really created haunting images, pale blue and white hues. The snowfall is exceptionally gorgeous…
The 95th Trailer
August 20th, 2009This is the official trailer.
I love the shot of my Grandpa Steve in front of a fort he assaulted over 60 years ago, turning to the camera, looking like a badass in his jean jacket and hat. He was 80 at the time and still looked like he could tear the thing down with his bare hands if he set his mind to it. I miss him.
The first piece of music is courtesy of Joseph Dittman of Blind Anabaptist Blues, an excellent and unique band out of the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.
