Week 127 - 48HFP 2006 Aftermath
(This episode rated PG for language)
Well, we clobbered ‘em. We were one Mandarin Pimp shy of a blowout, but keep your calendar clean on May 10, just in case there be justice in the world. They put ours last in the running order, which is a good sign, but how do you compete with high school kids wearing Mexican hats? I think our chances are good for Audience Award, but who really cares? We often get accolades when we least expect (or need) them.
While holding our collective breath for the Judges' Decision, it's time to revisit NO RETREAT FROM DESTINY (some of you were good enough to attend the Richmond premiere back in September). Kevin Hershberger's Civil War motion picture has just been released on DVD and I hope you can log-on to the movie web site, see what's been done on the film, and if you're inclined, order a copy for your library.
The film was just awarded "Best Director" , "Best Drama" and "Best in Show" at the 2006 Vision Film Festival. The movie also won awards for "Best Cinematography" and "Best Musical Score".
"No Retreat From Destiny" and tells the story of the last great Confederate invasion of the north, in the summer of 1864, the July 9, 1864 battle of Monocacy, and the attack and defense of Washington, D.C. at Fort Stevens. The movie is 106 minutes long, and the battle scenes are some of the most intense ever filmed of Civil War-era combat. The movie was produced by men and women from the Civil War re-enacting community - not by Hollywood, and they worked very hard at "getting it right."
