I too am one of the producers and I'm doing some special and mechanical effects. I'm a Army vet, 1967-74. My father was a demolition and salvage diver in WW2 and served in Europe. My step-father landed on Omaha Beach.
We have been waiting for a new camera to arrive and it will be here soon now. Our DP's reservation number came up last week. He will take delivery of his new RED One camera shortly. If you are interested see here:

I will be heading to Mobile in a couple of weeks to install some hydraulic gear and help Tom Boser with getting some lights and gauges operational. The USS Drum's hydraulics for the periscopes were drained over 45 years ago and are not functional. I have to build a hydraulic unit to move them up and down.
For those who wish to know, the teaser is just that, a teaser. Just what you put together before you begin shooting. That is not what the movie will look like.
Good luck to all and see you around. Please support Tom and Leslie on the Drum.
