“Soldiers’ Stories is, as its Oscar-winning producer Nicholas Reed likes to put it, the world’s oldest 3-D film. It’s also one of the newest. The 30-minute film pairs century-old stereoscopic photos taken in the trenches by World War 1 soldiers with narration by Mickey Rooney and voiceover from recent American vets whose personal stories suggest that war never changes for those in the middle of it: loneliness, loss, intense camaraderie, bad food, bad weather, the adrenaline rush of combat.”

Nick’s viral video company enjoyed huge success when his video for Freshpet, starring YouTube sensation “The Apparently Kid” got over 2 million organic views in two days and went on to be the 2nd most watched video of the weekend, staying on the YouTube front page for 3 days. Making a non-commercial commercial and letting Noah… well be Noah, was the magic ingredient. Check it out: http://youtu.be/Gm5mNF_gyxY

Nick Reed’s new film, Soldiers’ Stories, is the oldest 3D film. Take a look at the history of 3D movies in 3 mins:
“100 years ago the greatest battle the earth has ever seen began in the Somme region of France. More British and Canadian soldiers would die in this one single battle than in all of World War II, yet it is a relatively unknown event today. Soldiers’ Stories brings a ‘grunt eye view’ of battle to life using original, never before seen 3D stereoscopic images from the time. Painstakingly remastered for 15/70 mm film format these powerful and haunting images are brought to the screen for the first time ever. The Soldiers’ Stories is a universal and timeless story. In the film the realities of war are retold by modern combat veterans who relay their own stories of today in order to speak for the veterans of the past. Academy Award winning Producer Jonathan Kitzen and Nick Reed (The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life) have assembled an amazing film document of real time history. They join us for a conversation on the journey they took on this project has taken them on and the nature of how war, yesterday and today.”
