"Soldiers of Paint" Documentary Film Advance Screening

"Soldiers of Paint" follows a dramatic battle involving 5,000 people who re-stage the Invasion of Normandy, or D-Day, in Oklahoma. Instead of bullets they use paint and it's any man's game, which means the Germans could win! And these guys are serious. The spend all year preparing their battle strategies (including finding ways to spy on each other) and on game day they come ready to fight with full-size tanks, airplanes, and bazookas. The battle takes place each year on a 700-acre piece of land owned by Dewayne Convirs, who takes on this endeavor as a tribute to his grandfather and, ultimately, in support of our veterans. It's a character-driven story with a lot of laughs that appeals to fans of film as well as military and paintball enthusiasts. But don't take our word for it. Come join us and see for yourself and in the process support DC's independent filmmaking community.
