10 GOOD MEN | New Screenings Added!
Whew... *wipes sweat from head*
I'm not going to lie to you guys. This is some really hard work. Haha. But it will be worth it if we can tell this story!
After weeks of effort, I am happy to announce some fantastic new screening locations and dates for 10 Good Men! It is important to remember: typically, the "film" industry is dominated by a handful of studios that produce whatever they want. And Hollywood is not exactly known for having a love for patriotic films or documentaries that focus on historical accuracy and American triumphs. This means 10 Good Men is far from the "typical" film you see playing in theaters. Because of this, many venues won't even consider playing 10 Good Men—meaning that the few locations that have agreed to show it, have taken a chance on us. Let's make sure we support them. Let's show this industry that people do care about this topic and will turn out to support films that honor our heroes.
In addition, I have some special giveaways I will be doing at some of these events! (More on that in the next newsletter!) But for now, let's look at the updated list of screenings!
PENSACOLA, FL - FLORIDA PREMIERE with TJ Q&ASaenger Theatre - July 3rd 7:00PM (Tickets go on sale May 20th!)
More shows to come soon! If you want a screening in your area, please reach out to your local theater or museum and tell them! I am currently working on finding screenings in Chicago, Dallas, California, and Tucson. Please consider emailing theaters in these areas if you are close by.
ALSO - giveaway alert! If you plan on attending a screening, please take a photo with the poster! I will send you a surprise. 10 Good Men gift bag if you tag @TJ3History and post it on social media :)

Some of the screenings are shaping up to be very special! At each event that TJ will be attending, we will have limited edition merchandise, posters, and all sorts of bonus goodies. At some of the events, we may even have fully dressed B-17 crewmembers hanging around! As of right now, here are the three I will be attending personally.
The Macon World Premiere is going to be one that is very important to me. My associate producer (Josh Profit) and I will be doing a Q&A after the event here as we share this project with many of our Georgia friends and family. This screening takes place in the historic downtown area of Macon, and I cannot recommend a more beautiful (and appropriate) way to spend Memorial Day weekend.
As of right now, the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Alabama, is working to put together a very special event that may even include dinner! If you are anywhere near there on June 18th, you won't want to miss it. I look forward to seeing many of you there!
Pensacola, Florida is also shaping up to be spectacular. We will be at one of the most beautiful venues in the southeast in one of the top military cities in the country on July 3rd. There is no better way to celebrate July 4th weekend! Enjoy the Naval museums, fireworks, and Florida beaches for America's 250th birthday!
In other news, for those who are wondering about your regularly scheduled TJ3 History programming, last week I released an outstanding documentary on the Battle of the Coral Sea! In case you missed it, I will drop the link here.
In this 54-minute documentary on one of history's most underappreciated battles, I cover nearly every moment of the epic clash. But in a first—I cover it using firsthand accounts of men who were there. With interviews from the National WWII Museum, excerpts from biographies, and other sources, we see just how this confusing event took place and what it took to win the first aircraft carrier battle in history. Make sure to give it a watch!
Well, that is all for today! Gotta get back to work. Thanks for everything, guys.
-Your grateful friend, TJ
Hopefully I will see some of you at the World Premiere in May (Buy tickets here!) or at other theaters throughout the summer! Thanks for reading, and I will talk to you guys soon!
Please reply with your thoughts or feedback here! Here's to saving more history together.

The announcement: Three years of interviewing veterans has led to this. In case you missed it, last week I officially announced the first feature film from TJ3 Productions: 10 Good Men. After three years of hard work hunting down and interviewing the last surviving World War II aviation veterans, I am proud to announce the flagship documentary of that endeavor. This film will seek to tell the story of the B-17 Flying Fortress and the men who flew it. Specifically, 10 good men who flew it....
BONUS CONTENT! The P-61 Black Widow - Behind the Scenes! Last month, I released a new documentary covering the P-61 Black Widow, one of the most unappreciated aircraft of the war. In today's newsletter, I will cover some bonus content that did not make the cut for that video! In case you missed it, here is a link to watch: BEHIND THE SCENES: To begin, let's take a look at some of the nose art on P-61 Black Widows from across the war. I was a little perplexed at why these night fighters had...
