"Violence Of Action" is a thrilling short film that follows a group of retired Green Berets who reunite to rescue the kidnapped daughter of one of their own. Scott Hunter, also known as "Boy Scout," hears his daughter being abducted during a phone call and immediately springs into action, despite his retirement. He reaches out to his former team, brothers forged by the fires of war, who unhesitatingly come to his aid. As they execute a daring rescue mission, they discover that the kidnapping was not a random act but a targeted attack against Scott's family. The team grapples with their instincts and the legal ramifications of the laws they are breaking, realizing they miss the action more than they anticipated. The film delves into themes of loyalty, camaraderie, and the lingering call to action that remains with those who have served in special operations.
"Violence Of Action" emerged from a unique collaboration among friends. Initially conceived as an audition tape for Scott, the project quickly evolved into a full-fledged short film as the team enjoyed collaborating so much that we kept adding scenes. Through authentic portrayals and action-packed sequences, "Violence of Action" aims to honor the special operations community while leaving viewers feeling part of a larger story yet to unfold. The foundation of authenticity in "Violence Of Action" lies in the inclusion of veterans among the producers and cast. `
