Two Air Force Combat Controllers at the end of their careers take on one last mission in Afghanistan. The plot centers around how their famous mission's "Call For Fire" has shaped their situation today. They have to deal with unknowingly being pursued by high echelon leaders of the Taliban that are working with some dirty players in the contractor world. A modern day adaptation based on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Shakespeare's Hamlet, we follow a similar story arc of the bard's play.—Sean Kinney
A modern-day adaptation of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet.' Two soldiers guard the Prince, a scenario which was easily adapted to fit the current war on terror. Much like the original characters, Crantz and Stern, two Air Force Combat Controllers on one last mission in Afghanistan, still revel in their existential debates within the context of this black comedy, while unknowingly being pursued by high echelon leaders of the Taliban who are working with some dirty players in the contractor world.—Sean Kinney

All the scenarios in this film were taken from actual stories of those who served, and woven together to form our story with Shakespeare's characters. A unique piece of modernized classic art that plays as a simple film.This project is the result of a long-kept promise among childhood best friends, one who went to Hollywood, and one who went into the military. Each made a pact to make a film together one day. With other friends wanting to join them, they saw an opportunity. They teamed up with DarkHorse Benefits (a Veteran owned charity that helps veterans transition into second careers). The film is unique in that almost the entire cast and crew were wounded Special Operations warriors who received training both in front of and behind the camera on this film, to help them prepare for and transition into film and TV careers following retirement. Plenty of Easter Eggs throughout the film give homage to many of Shakespeare's great works and his most noted devices.
