What People Are Saying

“Throughout my 26-year tenure in the film industry, I have encountered only two productions that have made a deliberate effort to acknowledge military veterans among their personnel. During the September 2025 filming for the new adaptation of "The Red Badge of Courage," the production took an intentional and respectful approach to this recognition. Background actors, cast, and crew were discreetly invited to indicate their military service. This shared dedication distinguishes us.”

— Jeremiah Hornbaker, Artistry in Motion, Inc.
