Battle of Oriskany, part one of four parts.

This video was made for a college project. This is part one of four parts. I wish to thank Alan Sterling and Joseph Robertaccio for their help. Some of the graphic material in this video is from an unpublished manuscript by Joseph Robertaccio and Edward Kupiec. I was generously granted permission to use this material.

The pictures of Fort Stanwix are from a disc purchased there. This disc comes with an educational use license.

wasnt really an abusive relationship, they both played their parts.

@hotzrox Well, what would you call it if you had to do as you were told, hand over your money and guns on demand, and tolerate your home being searched on a whim?

[MFerris341]

And let's say a boyfriend was doing these things to his girlfriend, what would you call it then?

[ArseneLupin2009]

well done

@ArseneLupin2009 The call was just us handing in pictures of ourselves and a brief informational form we filled out. Then the casting director talked to us for a little while. They were to begin filming right after Labor Day but the start of filming has been delayed until the spring of 2012 and they will have another casting call.

@MFerris341 wow that's excellent. what was the call like? did they contact you again? too bad I missed it, that would be awesome to be in it

[MFerris341]

@DiVeronica It will be a dramatic Hollywood movie financed by the Oneida Indian Nation. People from Hollywood have been brought into the Mohawk Valley to film the movie in the Mohawk Valley. Locals will be used as extras (I've been to the casting call). Post production will be done locally using Oneida Indian Nation film facilities. Google the movie First Allies to find the official website. YouTube will not let me place a link here.
