We’re headed to Italia!

Written By Jack Blair

We’re honored to share that This Is Not A Draft has been officially selected to screen at the Florence International Film Festival in Florence, Italy.


This film has been a labor of love from the start — a journey through the hearts and histories of post-9/11 Veterans, their reasons for raising their hands, the costs carried home, and the power of community that helps them rebuild. To have this story recognized on an international stage feels both humbling and deeply affirming — a reminder that truth and compassion travel far beyond borders.

Endless gratitude to everyone who helped bring this project to life — the veterans who entrusted us with their stories, our extraordinary crew, and the community that continues to show up with heart and purpose.

🎥 This Is Not A Draft continues its mission to spark conversation, build connection, and honor those who serve — in every form that service takes.
