Audiences Respond to Columbia SC Screenings

Some of the cast dropped by the screenings at the State Museum theatre on September 26 which were presented by the Sandlapper Society. That's Richard Smith (General Sumter) on the left, followed by Bill Dewitt (Tory Lieutenant Eli), filmmaker Chris Weatherhead, Barry Grant (Tory Lieutenant Everett), Mark Hall and Bill Funderburk (Tories) and Rob Gorman (John Felder)

This was the first time ALL FOR LIBERTY screened anywhere in the midlands or backcountry of South Carolina and there was great excitement to see the movie on the big screen.

Responses from survey sheets were very strong. EVERYONE surveyed said they'd highly recommend the movie, joining over 350 other patrons surveyed - the movie seems to be receiving the same response whether it is from the 19 states where we're shipping dvds, or from folks from other countries. Bravo and congratulations to all cast, crew, creative team! And thanks again to our many donors!!

To the question "What did you like best?" here are a few of the answers...

"The story! - the acting - the history - the writing - the authenticity of everything!"
"The subject - Excellent depiction of lost history!"

"Great story, scenery and music-- We must never forget why we are a free country and remain that way!"
"Everything was fantastic! -- Must be grateful to those who made freedom possible

"Great story so well told -- the movie had a great flow!"

And to the question "Any other comments?", here are some responses...

"Keep showing this!!"

"Thank you! - Much needed movie"
"Show this film everywhere!"

"Uplifting message"
"Please keep this going"

"Should be seen by all Americans!"

Audiences Respond at Screenings in Columbia

AFL co-star Michael Easler (Governor Rutledge) sent this report about the screenings this past weekend in Columbia, the state capital of South Carolina. Michael was on hand to meet-and-greet the audience members...

"Wanted to let you know that “All For Liberty” was really well received recently during the two showings at The South Carolina Museum. I sat thru the first showing and people regularly gasped, chuckled, and cheered. Everyone applauded un-prompted at the end.

After the 2nd. showing, one woman came up to me (teary-eyed) and said she was very moved. Many others wanted to know more about Henry Felder – and were amazed he isn’t mentioned in general SC history! Very cool evening."
