*READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT! WHAT I USED i.e. EDITING SOFTWARE, MUSIC, ETC. IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DESCRIPTION*

While digging around in some drawers, a young boy discovers his grandfathers war memorabilia. When he approaches his grandfather about the items, the war veteran flashes back and tells a story unlike any other the boy had ever heard.

This movie is unlike any movie I have ever made! The idea actually came to me in my sleep (as corny as that sounds). I had to make it! In fact, it turned out so good that I'm going to insert it into 3 film festivals (I will not reveal which ones for competition reasons).
