MCA Releases its First Video Series and Feature Length Film on Battle of First Manassas

Sunday, July 7th, 2024

Quantico, VA, Jun 28, 2024: The Marine Corps Association released its first video series and feature length film on the Battle of First Manassas. The project, part of the Association’s professional military education initiative, completed the production to augment one of a number of battle studies offered by the non-profit organization for use by Marines attending any training and education programs, units seeking additional sources for battlefield staff ride programs, and Civil War enthusiasts.

The project took ten months to complete led primarily by Marine Corps Gazette Assistant Editor William Treuting. Staff from the Marine Corps Gazette magazine contributed to every aspect of the film, including the narration and video editing. Treuting intended to provide a tactical analysis of the battle while utilizing Manassas National Battlefield Park as the primary setting to tell the story.

“This film is primarily intended for military leaders preparing to conduct a staff ride of the Manassas battlefield; however, it is also meant to be viewed by anyone with enthusiasm for Marine Corps history, American Civil War history, or military history in general,” said Treuting. “I hope this film will encourage the viewers to further explore the Battle of First Manassas, whether that be visiting the battlefield, reading historical accounts, or wargaming the battle.”

The video will be released in a three-part series on the Marine Corps Association YouTube channel starting June 30th. The full-length feature will be released on the anniversary of the battle on July 21st.

Savage Announces New Episode of Savage Journeys: Making It Rain Outdoors

Sunday, June 30th, 2024

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 28, 2024 – Savage Arms® announces the release of its newest Savage Journeys episode: Making it Rain Outdoors. This story follows Savage Arms ambassadors Rain and Jason Williams and the generational tradition of hunting and fishing that Rain Williams was born into and is sharing with her family. The Williams hope to instill in their children the same passion for the outdoors and inspire other families to connect with nature to ensure the legacy continues for future generations.

Viewers can watch as Rain tells the story of her father and grandfather instilling a love for the outdoors in her from a young age, and how she came to introduce her husband Jason to hunting and fishing when they began dating. Now parents of three, viewers witness them discuss combining parenthood with the outdoors and the balance that takes. The Williams also describe how their brand, Rain Outdoors, came to be and the mission of their platform.

“My husband was passionate about promoting where he was from in the city so he knew all about social media. He would take pictures of me outside hunting and fishing and the brand started building from there,” said Rain Williams. “For a long time, I knew that I wanted to get young people involved, especially young women. Hearing from parents who tell me that their daughters decided to start hunting or fishing because of me is what inspires me to keep making content and building Rain Outdoors.”

As important as creating and sharing content is to Rain and Jason, they stand firm in the idea that the most important job they can do in growing the outdoor community is to instill those values in their children. The Williams work hard to teach their sons that hunting and fishing is more for the harvest than anything else, showing them every step of the process from the catch or kill to a home-cooked meal.

“Rain’s story is important to tell because it highlights the power of family traditions and the vital role of teaching the next generation to cherish our outdoor heritage,” said Kristin Boeshart, Digital Marketing Manager at Savage Arms. “Rain and Jason share their joy for the outdoors and their family every day on their pages.”

The Williams continue to pursue their goals, with a bright vision for the future of Rain Outdoors. Having recently released her first children’s outdoor coloring and activity book, Rain Outdoors Into the Wild, Rain hopes to spark children around the country’s interest in the outdoors, hunting and fishing. Rain and Jason’s adventures are documented on their Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

“We’re trying to build an outdoors legacy that will last beyond our lives and this is just the beginning of that journey,” said Rain Williams.

This Savage Journeys episode debuted on the Savage Arms website and through its social channels on June 28. For more information about Savage Arms and Savage Journeys, visit savagearms.com.

“Triple 7” Record Setting Skydiving Expedition Documentary Drops into Five Cities for Red Carpet Premieres

Saturday, April 20th, 2024

Legacy Expeditions, Folds of Honor announce documentary film premiere dates

AUSTIN—April 17, 2024— The much-anticipated documentary “Triple 7: They Said It Couldn’t Be Done,” directed and produced by Dan Myrick (“The Blair Witch Project”) and produced by Kristian Krempel, is set to premiere in five cities in May. The film follows a team of nine former U.S. and Canadian special operations service members as they attempt to achieve skydiving’s most elusive feat, the Triple 7— seven skydives on seven continents in seven days. Spearheaded by retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille, the film aims to raise $7 million for Folds of Honor.

“Triple 7” will roll out the red carpet between May 11-16 in New York, Tampa, Austin, Dallas, and Los Angeles, respectively. Expedition members and filmmakers will be available to the media in the days leading up to the New York premiere and at each city’s red-carpet event.

“The road to this theatrical release for ‘Triple 7’ has been a deeply personal and collective commitment at Legacy Expeditions. Spanning three years, the endeavor of the expedition and creating the documentary was significant, but the cause—to etch the legacy of our fallen into the annals of history—made every challenge worth facing,” said Sarraille. “The excitement of the adventure and the emotional depth of our shared stories will, I hope, touch the hearts of viewers, both through laughter and tears, reminding us all to never forget and to forever honor those who gave everything.”

“When approached by Mike to document their world record attempt with the aim of raising $7 million for Folds of Honor, I saw an opportunity beyond mere spectacle,” said Myrick. “It became a personal mission to delve into the motivations and profound purpose driving this group of individuals often misunderstood in contemporary society. What unfolded was a profound exploration of a multi-faceted collective: highly skilled and committed soldiers intertwined with heartfelt, humorous, and contemplative human beings.”
