"Having watched your recent documentary-drama on the Battle of the Wilderness, you’re to be complimented on your artistic emphasis. Yes, battlefield tactics, which unit was where when, how they were deployed - the map of the battle so to speak - is both important and intriguing. But without knowing the individual people involved it can remain a fascinating abstraction. Your work already shows this understanding - which is the foundation for everything else."
- Ronald F. Maxwell, Director of "Gettysburg," & "Gods & Generals"
