PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Memorial Day
The film's objective is to examine and apprehend the emotional and
psychological mindset of the American soldiers that committed the atrocities in Abu Ghraib prison in 2003-4. It is a NON-SAG very low budget feature/documentary, that is nearing completion.

The film follows a group of US soldiers through a haze of intoxicated
states. First a lost Memorial Day weekend at an anonymous beach town where binge drinking, date rape, fraternity hazing and "girls gone wild" style exhibitionism rule the night.

Next, to the barracks and prisons of Iraq, where M-16s, peer pressure, fear, sexual obsessiveness and sexual humiliation (among the soldiers) create a giddy bloodthirsty frat-house atmosphere.

For the third section, we find ourselves in Abu Ghraib prison, where this rollercoaster of partying and fighting creates an atmosphere where torture is a party and partying is war.

Call us or email for further details to find out how you can be a part. We need over 300 extras. Naked and clothed. Bring your friends.
