    What a fantastic portrayal of the complexity of emotion that arises when a couple is confronted by the challenges of separation and the fear inherent in knowing the love you have come to know may be compromised by the uncertainty that is war. This is an excellent way to spark an open dialogue about the effects of war experienced by families and those closest to our men and women who bravely answer their call to duty. Wonderful writing, casting, and film-work. This is a great series. Looking forward to the next video!

  2. Elle,
    So very excited for this project. I fell in love with the script the day I came in. A REAL scene. A REAL moment. This was wonderfully cast, directed and edited. I am still hopeful to work with you on future episodes/other projects. Blessings!

  3. Great job by all involved. Elle and Josh are a dynamo directing couple!! Not sure how all that talent fits under one roof! All my best!

    Very moving! A touching episode that unfortunately reflects the reality of so many of our troops returning from war. Thanks for the reminder to never forget to show our appreciation to them and their families. Can’t wait to see more!

    WOW. I lived thru Vietnam and all of of my cousins listening to the draft results while my Aunts and Grandmothers were playing domino’s… I can’t imagine being in a relationship with a vet and him optioning to return. Great story!

    Our veterans deserve better. Where are the great projects of our generation? We should have everyone working to improve the infrastructure, which opens up jobs in all sectors of the economy. Instead we have an old power system, crumbling roads and bridges, and unemployed veterans suffering? Why can’t we have our veterans help nation build in the U.S., alongside everyone of course, and start creating the environment to produce jobs?

    Wow, heavy stuff I’ve been to Iraq and seen the troops and the life they live and sacrifices they make. Its a shame how we treat them when they come back
    Nice job to all involved

  9. I especially like the storyline empowering Stacy. She has skills, education etc going for her — on track to make something happen. Doesn’t want to give up her dream at the expense of his — needing to travel abroad, unsafe conditions. Plus he wasn’t straight up with her for such a big life choice. Nicely done!

  10. It’s heartbreaking that veterans who have served their country can’t find jobs when returning home. Well written and presented view of the tragic repercussions of war.

  11. My dad, a Wall Street stock broker for over 20 years till he passed, always said: “It’s a Recession when the other person is out of work; it’s a Depression when you are out of work.” For the unemployed emotions run high in forms of frustration which too often morph into a chronic emotional depression. I guess then it is not incongruent for a perfectly healthy unemployed veteran who has put life on the line for this country to consider going back in harm’s way rather than feel the slings an arrows of of unemployment. Sad indeed !

  12. Instantly aware of the seriousness of the situation I was drawn into the conversation before a single word was spoken. Halfway through the story I was somewhat grateful that I was safely seated in front of my computer, opposed to the front seat of the shiny red bug. By the time the conversation was over I was stuck thinking…how bad it must be here that somebody is willing to consider going back to the battlefield?

    This wonderfully written and directed episode portrays a very different, but just as impactful view of war as Eisenstaedt’s depicted in V-J Day in Times Square. With the retiring of the WWII generation never has it been more important than now to thank a Veteran, and provide the thousands of soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq new and real opportunities like the G.I. Bill before.

  13. Nice job you two, well played. I think that the personal struggles for purpose that a man has to deal with shine in this, + how difficult it is in a relationship to balance personal and relationship needs. Director – I love the first and last shot, very powerful.

    Great job! I really like the intensity mixed in with the moments of calm and silence. Timely subject matter, too, but applicable to a lot of different relationship situations. Nice work, Elle!

    Nothing like having a good woman at your side. Dam girl support your man 🙂 Great episode. Our military needs all the support it can get.

    Whopping ep.!!! We have the best and the brightest in our military! We need to keep them home and employ them and pay them for what they have done and what they are worth.

    And a woman wrote and directed this?! BRAVO!
