SYNOPSIS

ARTISTIC STATEMENT
little bunker hill is a passion project for everyone involved. The project was a collision between three heady forces: my hangups, my lengthy obsession with the transcendentalists, and my frustration with the trend toward posterity, that history must be ignored in order to achieve progress. During the research our team conducted while developing this movie, we discovered that radical ideas have deep roots in the colonial United States. This movie tracks a universal restless need to redefine our sense of self.
KEY CREW
Matthew Philip Gill - Director - Writer - Producer
Matt made a period film the modern way: overpaying for a grad school degree; working dead-end jobs; leveraging goodwill, relationships and credit. Born from this process came this debut (little bunker hill), and a devotion to a family-style mode of filmmaking.
