Meet Jared Dudley. Former 11 Chuck, and now a crew member of BREAK IN CASE OF WAR.
Jared enlisted in the U.S. Army in May 2010 as an Infantryman. Somewhere along the way, the Army decided he’d make a better mortarman than rifleman and handed him an 11C designation, a mortar tube, and the endless possibilities of back problems.
His first assignment took him to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, where he served with 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment. The real Alaska, not warm ole JBER.
In 2011, Jared deployed to Afghanistan for twelve months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
After Afghanistan, Jared graduated from the Basic Military Mountaineering Course at the Northern Warfare Training Center, proving mortarmen can, in fact, walk uphill.
He then PCS’d to Fort Hood, Texas, serving with 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment until separating in January 2016.
Today, Jared drives for R+L Carriers and has been married for nine years with three kids.
So how did he get involved with our crew?
Jared and the film’s Director, Cameron Cushman, served together in Alaska, deployed to Afghanistan, and eventually both PCS’d to Fort Hood, where the Army finally separated them into different units.
When BREAK IN CASE OF WAR headed to Fort Bragg, Cameron brought Jared aboard as a Production Assistant and BTS Photographer. Partly to help with production, partly to get an old friend back around the Infantry.
For Jared, stepping onto an Army installation for the first time in nearly a decade felt like coming home.
Hearing the stories of the men who fought in Samarra nearly twenty years ago and witnessing the brotherhood they still share brought back memories of his own time in uniform.
He called the experience one of the best of his life and joked that being around the paratroopers had him ready to reenlist.
Not a bad reunion for two old GWOT grunts.

251 years of fighting wars, raising hell, and taking care of our own.
This Marine Corps Birthday, we’re proud to release THE WAY BACK, a short documentary following Marine Corps veteran John Brozovic as he navigates the battles that don’t end when the uniform comes off.
From the struggles of life after war to finding his way back through fly fishing, brotherhood, and Project Healing Waters, John’s story is one that far too many warfighters know firsthand.
Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Marine Corps.
Semper Fi, Marines.
A Project Healing Waters film by Cameron Cushman.

There’s nothing like the infantry.
Huge thanks to the men and women of 2-505 PIR and the 82nd Airborne Division for letting our crew get down in the dirt with them last week as we wrapped production on BREAK IN CASE OF WAR.
It’s been over ten years since most of the crew has worn the uniform, and after spending a week on the ground, it’s clear that many things haven’t changed a bit.
All the Way.
BREAK IN CASE OF WAR

COMING SOON.

Meet Taya Everroad.
Taya joined the crew of BREAK IN CASE OF WAR as a Production Assistant during our production with Major General Viet Luong.
Before working in film, Taya spent four years serving in the United States Navy.
After completing her initial training at Great Lakes in Chicago, she trained as a Fiber Optic Data Multiplexing Systems technician before receiving orders to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
There, she was assigned to the USS Preble (DDG-88) as an Interior Communications Electrician.
From 2014 to 2018, Taya worked her way up to Work Center Supervisor of CE-01 and completed two deployments aboard the USS Preble, traveling throughout Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
After leaving the Navy, Taya turned her attention toward a career in media.
She earned her associate degree in Digital Cinematography from Full Sail and has since continued working in photography and film, to include both time spent behind and in front of the camera.
Taya had previously worked alongside BREAK IN CASE OF WAR director Cameron Cushman on a commercial project in Austin Texas the previous year.
When it came time to put together a crew for our production with Major General Viet Luong, bringing another Veteran and a familiar face onto the team was a natural fit.
During the production, Taya worked both as a Production Assistant and behind the camera, helping us capture one of the most important interviews in the film.

We are past awareness.
Generations of war have shown us what explosions, gunfire, loss, and violence can leave behind. You don’t simply come home unchanged.
It has to become about empowerment.
The war may change you.
What you do next is still yours.
BREAK IN CASE OF WAR
A feature documentary about the men and women who served in the 82nd Airborne Division, the wars that shaped them, and the Paratroopers carrying that legacy today.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to tell Suzi McKinley’s story and the story behind Golden Forge.
IRON SHARPENS IRON
A short film about service, purpose, and building something that matters.
Grateful to Suzi and the Golden Forge team for trusting us with this one.

BREAK IN CASE OF WAR started with Mark Kershaw.
For producer Mark Kershaw, BREAK IN CASE OF WAR started with a simple idea. Honor the Paratroopers who fought in Samarra and preserve the legacy of those who have served in the 82nd Airborne Division.
Mark joined the Army as an Infantryman in 2006, earning his wings before serving two combat deployments with two different units.
His first took him to Iraq with the 1st Cavalry Division from 2008 to 2009. Yeah we know, what freshly pinned airborne guy gets sent to Hood. You’ll have to ask him, it’s a great story.
Mark then joined Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg. He then deployed for the second time in his career, now with the 82nd to Ghazni Province, Afghanistan.
By the time he left the Army as a Staff Sergeant, Mark had earned his Combat Infantryman Badge, graduated Jumpmaster School, and served in the same battalion whose deployment to Samarra would eventually become the foundation of this film.
He knew that story needed to be told.
Not just the firefights.
Not just the names and dates.
But the men who were there. The brothers they lost. The experiences they carried home. And the legacy they added to a Division whose history stretches back more than a century.
That idea became BREAK IN CASE OF WAR.
After leaving the Army, Mark built a career in government sales before making the move into filmmaking, eventually producing his first feature documentary, TRIBAL.
For Mark, the reason behind it is simple.
“I’m doing this because I want to give back to the unit that shaped who I am today. I also want to honor the Paratroopers that deployed to Samarra the right way. Some of the greatest warriors I know fought in that city and I feel like this story needs to be told.”
Different generations. Different wars. The same Division.

Are these the best bang for buck cinema lenses?! 🎥
We recently used the DZOFilm Arles Primes on a couple commercial projects, and four things stood out.
1 The image. Sharp and clean, with subtle edge softness and a 16 blade iris that gives the image some character.
2 The price. Around $11K for a six lens set, with full frame coverage and a proper cinema build.
3 T1.4 aperture. Great low light performance and shallow depth of field across the core set.
4 270° focus throw. Precise focus control with minimal breathing for smoother focus pulls.
For us, they hit a great middle ground between clean modern glass and lenses with a ton of character.

CONTROVERSIAL TAKE:
The enemy is human too.
War has sides, but loss doesn’t. Both sides lose friends. Both sides bury brothers. Both sides fight for reasons they believe are worth fighting for.
Acknowledging that doesn’t diminish what we did, or the enemy we destroyed. It’s simply recognizing something deeply human about war, the man trying to kill you may also love the men fighting beside him.
You can destroy your enemy and still recognize what it cost them.

Samarra took some of the best men Jason Wheeler ever knew. He refuses to let it take their names.
Jason joined the Army at 17 as an Infantryman. After OSUT and Airborne School he went on to 1st Plt., C Co., 2-505th PIR.
He spent the next eight years in the same platoon, serving in nearly every position.
His first deployment took him to the mountains of Afghanistan, along the border of Pakistan in search of Osama bin Laden.
Then a deployment to Iraq.
Followed by another deployment to Iraq, fifteen months in Samarra. A deployment that most couldn’t comprehend.
Jason led many of 1st Plt’s missions as lead TC through a city where small arms fire, heavy machine gun fire, mortar, rocket, IED, and suicide attacks were a part of the everyday routine.
They hunted for kidnapped soldiers, they fought foreign fighters who came to the region solely to kill Americans, and they made life and death decisions every day.
And some of the best men Jason had ever known never came home.
SSG Robert Stanley
SSG Justin Estes
SPC Justin Rollins
SPC Andrew Perkins
SPC Ryan Bell
PFC Cory Kosters
SPC Joshua Boyd
Ayman Salih Sajb “Arthur”
SPC Roberto Causor
SGT Josh Morley
SPC Tracy Willis
Jason left the Army in 2008 as a SSG. He has now been out longer than he served, but the 82nd and the men of 1st Plt remain an inseparable part of who he is.
Jason doesn’t tell the story of Samarra as one of defeat.
He tells its as a story of brotherhood forged through years of going through the suck together. Men willing to die for one another.
Some of them did.
For Jason, BREAK IN CASE OF WAR is an opportunity to make sure those stories don’t disappear.
To remember the men who didn’t come home.
To remember those who came home, but later couldn’t outrun their demons.
And to remind the Paratroopers carrying that legacy today exactly what is expected of them.
“What makes us truly special is the men and women of the unit, their camaraderie and their ability to lay absolute waste to the people who wish Americans harm.”

Moving frames from a brand piece earlier this year.
Short turn around time, small crew, fast moving, but a great production.
This was our first time using the @cookeoptics SP3’s and they definitely didn’t disappoint. They have a pleasant vintage feel but not over the top that would limit the types of productions you could use these on. Great flares, light weight, and with a strong build, we will be renting these again without a doubt.

Today is National Airborne Day.
For more than 80 years, American Paratroopers have carried it forward. From one generation to the next. From one war to the next.
The legacy was never meant to sit behind glass.
