State of the Union is a civil war period movie that centers around the love of two people who fall on opposite sides of the war. The movie has a variety of locations that add depth to the setting of the movie. It was shot in the historic village of Zoar which was first founded in 1819.
The story of State of the Union evolved out of a deep desire to make a movie that had intriguing plot lines, developed characters, and thrilling elements. I believe that State of the Union completed this goal. One major aide in accomplishing this was the reenactors in their Union and Confedera te uniforms who performed battle scenes. The working canon on the set also made the fights come alive.
I hope that the movie entertains the audience and that they will fall in love with the characters as they develop the plot of the film. The actors come from the Malone community; each has done a phenomenal job portraying the characters from the period. I am thrilled with the finished product and think that the audience will share this excitement. State of the Union is a movie that will surely entertain the viewers as it takes them on a journey through our nation’s history.
