A Thousand Yard Stare is a short film about a wounded soldier trapped in no man’s land, wrestling with the reality of death. It’s a raw, dialogue-free piece designed to reach a global audience. After speaking to my cousin, a real veteran who was shot in combat, I realised how powerful this story could be for those who’ve fought, and those who’ve never truly understood what it’s like.
In this powerful interview, former Paratrooper George shares the moment that changed his life forever, when he was shot while deployed overseas. Raw, honest, and deeply human, this conversation explores what it truly means to face death, and the silent war many veterans continue to fight once they return home.
I'll be conducting more interviews with veterans to tell their stories and to support A Thousand Yard Stare. A short film inspired by real soldiers experiences of trauma, isolation, and the quiet acceptance of death. George’s story brings truth and weight to the film’s message and serves as a voice for countless others who’ve walked the same path.
