Patton Veterans Project
We’re thrilled to bring the Patton Veterans Project (PVP) Veterans Short Film Workshop to College of DuPage, Illinois!
20 selected veterans will take part in this incredible three-day experience on October 23, 24 & 25, working in small teams to write, shoot, and edit their own short films—turning their ideas, experiences, creativity, and stories into films they can proudly call their own.
And the celebration continues!
Three weeks later, on November 12, their films will premiere on the big screen at a special Red Carpet Screening, celebrating the veterans who brought these stories to life!
Everyone is invited to experience this special evening! Join us on November 12 to support our veterans, celebrate their creativity, and see their films on the big screen.
