<div>This first fundraising goal will go towards the creation of a short film, which will allow us to gain further traction and help us get the full-length feature made. We're veterans, wanting to work with other veterans, to tell an inspirational story about a veteran's love for his brothers. 
</div>
<div>Our secondary goal is to help bridge the gap between veterans and civilians, and help people understand the honor and sacrifices of those who serve(d). 
</div>
<div>We’re asking you for your donations so we can get our movie into the right hands to create a tremendous impact, and we are committed to donating a portion of the funds to helping our veteran community. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity and support!

<div><strong><em>CUDGEL</em></strong> <strong>is an inspirational journey of a common man with an uncommon desire to succeed based on a true story of Sammy Lee Davis.</strong> It’s an American war-drama biopic, set in the late 1960’s, exploring the themes of courage, love, and hope in a coming-of-age story. We follow the fortitude of one man during the darkest of times, at war, where he learns that love can be found in the most unexpected places…on the battlefield. The greatest display of love is when one lays down his own life for another…this is where we witness heroic actions beyond the human will.

</div>
<div>Our proof-of-concept includes a critical water-based combat sequence, period piece design, and aims to attach top-tier talent — essential for authenticity, impact, and industry credibility. Water scenes require specialized safety teams, stunt coordination, permits, and professional equipment. Working with experienced actors ensures this story is told with the respect and cinematic power it deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution brings this story one step closer to reality. With your help, we can honor our nation’s heroes, tell this story authentically, and create a cinematic proof-of-concept that will pave the way for the full feature.
