The Battle of Shiloh reenactment documentary was filmed at the Blue-Gray Alliance event. It initially started as a project where we followed an Iowa unit as a newspaper correspondent writing articles for an Iowa paper. We were also working on a a news documentary film as we followed the unit. While working on the project, a number of reenactors in other units express interest in being included in the film. Several even contributed photos and video to the project. The film became a wide ranging documentary of reenactors at the event, in their camps, at the sutler area and at the dance. My film had no movie actors or sets - just reenactors. Wide Awake made an excellent film that told the Shiloh story from the point of view of seven people impacted by the battle in 1862. Actors played these parts. I hope this clarifies the differences between the two films. Brad Clark Director Open Eyes Media
