HEROES OF CARENTAN

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY (In Post)

"Heroes of Carentan" from Documentary First is a poignant documentary that chronicles the indomitable spirit and unwavering bravery of the 101st Airborne Division soldiers who, in early June 1944, fought valiantly to liberate the town of Carentan, France from the clutches of evil during four pivotal days at the onset of the Normandy invasion. Through battle, bloodshed, brokenness and celebration, an unbreakable bond was forged between the city of Carentan and the legendary US Army division that liberated them—a connection that endures to this day.

I traveled with the crew to Normandy for principal photography, serving as B Camera operator for interviews and 2nd Unit DP for reenactments.
