A Note from the Documentarian:
Simply put, The reason I felt a movie like "Ghost Bounty" was necessary is because of scenes like this from the ending of the movie "Captain Philips"
I remember seeing the difficulty explained on television at the time of the real event - the ups an downs of the waves, the two different weights of the big and small boats, and the tipping axes. I was completely impressed by the success of the mission.
The Navy seals sniper team performed their job, and then walk away quietly without the audience even seeing their faces.
I was blown away by the humility their roles required.
The truth about Special ops and special forces is that when they do their job well, no one notices. It's clean and under the radar.
It's the one thing I can relate to having spent time hiding errors as a visual effects artist in past work.
If no one notices, you did your job.
It's thankless, unless you get a chance to share the background story with someone in a compelling way.
That's what we're going to do.
"Ghost Bounty" is about the soldiers that get to be heroes for only a moment - and in front of very few people.
That's what these men deserve.
This is a true story of one of those soldiers .

Like most youth, my exposure to war was through movies and games. When I was younger, I remember watching an advertisement for a game about a specialized soldier.
It's soundtrack was solely a group of children reciting the pledge of allegiance...
This simple, creative idea took me back to memories of saying the pledge of allegiance in first grade.
When the chorus ended the pledge with a serious intensity - emphasizing the word "justice" - just before a bullet is shot, it took me to a place I had never been before.
My perspective on the pledge of allegiance had just changed.
Because of this one creative idea that juxtaposed innocence and espionage.
I'm not the only one that's noticed a shift in perspective on the word "patriotism."
I have always admired the best of the best in the military, and when I think of the United States special forces, I think of sacrifice.
Sacrifice of pride, of selfish wants and frequently the comfort of being able to relate to the general public.
Patriotism is belief in action. Belief in the potential of the sacred land we walk on and the memory of the family before us and the family ahead of us. I never served in the armed forces, but I feel that they represent our beliefs in action.
We must renew past feelings and instill new feelings of patriotism in this country.
And we will do it by changing perspective.
The MArketplace:
Films about DRAMA and war rarely include protagonists that bear their emotions, and when they do, they are memorable.
One of the greatest drawbacks to war movies is that the warfare is frequently overacted with unrealistic dialogue between the soldiers.
The action is rarely as sudden, without hesitation, and fast paced as it is in real life.
this is exactly what we want you to feel while watching "Ghost Bounty"
"The Hurt Locker" and "heat" are just some of the highly-rated films that fit this genre.
