I just got this message from a filmmaker named Alexander Fofonoff:
I am in my last year at NYU Tisch for film, and about to embark on my thesis film. It is a 19th century post civil war period piece that deals with how returning soldiers dealt with not only the transition from war to peace, but a national transition, how to accept half the country that’s been considered an enemy for the last four years, and what price is paid for that acceptance.
I recently launched an indiegogo campaign, in an attempt to have my project crowd-funded (small donations from a lot of people).
You can get more information at the film’s WordPress site, and make a contribution toward the production at Indiegogo.
