"BOY'S WAR" (2000)

VIEW THE ENTIRE FILM (18.1 MB - window media player)

Set during the French and Indian war, a young boy’s family is raided by Indians,

forcing him to run for his life. But he finds help in an unlikely place...

I shot this film when I was 14. This film was nightmare to shoot. My cousin Dave (Who plays the boy) and I heard

about a battle reenactment in Ticonderoga, so we went up there and shot a film around it. We asked a reenactor

if we would be in our film, and he said he would love to. We got really lucky on this one!

Winner Silver Deer award at Lake Placid Film Festival and the Audience Award

and Jury Prize at REEL TEENS USA.

"Creative camera work and the sheer chutzpah involved in making a bare-bones short film look like he actually

had a cast and a budget make this a pretty impressive effort. Radloff has a decent handle on playing a scared kid, and

Bannon puts this through quite well." (From a review by Pete Vonder Haar)

Written and Directed by Colin Bannon.

Filmed and Edited by Colin Bannon.

Cast: David Radloff, Wes Dykeman, Steve Haldford
