Filmmaker Looking To Interview US & ROK Military Veterans For Documentary

Here is an opportunity for ROK Drop readers that served in South Korea in the 1950′s & 1960′s to to be interviewed by a filmmaker shooting a documentary about the experiences of both American and South Korean servicemembers during this time period.  Below is a press release about the project:

Taylor Stanton sits in front of a monitor showing his grandfather (right) and his great uncle Herb Stankiewicz, who fought in the Korean War and never returned. 

My name is Taylor Stanton. I am a filmmaker working on a documentary project about veterans in Korea. The documentary will aim to develop a better understanding of the range of veterans’ experiences during the Korea War, as well, as during the massive political and social changes in post-war Korea.

My film crew and I will be in Korea throughout late July and August researching and filming interviews. We are hoping to talk with any Korean or American veterans who may have served during the 1950s or 1960s. We would love to hear from anyone who wishes to be interviewed, or anyone who simply would be willing to share their experiences with us. We are committed to capturing a well-rounded and diverse set of views, so any and all experiences or view points are welcome.
Anyone who may be interested, should contact Taylor Stanton at tayrstanton@gmail.com.
Thank you for your interest, consideration, and support!
Taylor Stanton

    I was at Camp Casey in 58 & 59. Obviously many changes since then. If interested, I can share my experiences.
