The GI Film Festival

Posted on by Day

We’re proud to have The Invalid Corps screen at the GI Film Festival in San Diego! The GI Film Festival aims to reveal the struggles, triumphs, and experiences of service members and veterans through compelling and authentic storytelling. The documentaries, shorts, narratives, and family-friendly films they show highlight stories of heroism, resilience, and honor. A great fit for our film!

There was even some press that specifically mentioned The Invalid Corps.

What we were most excited about was seeing this:

We’d been nominated for the First-time Filmmaker award!

It has been such a ride to be a part of the festival and included among some of the awesome films there. 🙂 No, we didn’t take home the award, but we feel pretty good about our showing.

Thanks GI Film Festival for the opportunity to share our story!
