THE FILM

New Film Group, LLC presents MARBLES AND BULLETS

MARBLES AND BULLETS is a soul-searching, historical fantasy, independent feature film adventure in the likes of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, and the psychological complexity of a Tennessee Williams tale. This character-driven narrative is a well-spun traveler’s tale that tells the story of two characters who become unlikely friends. Quirky characters step into the frame to challenge and enlighten the duo and the audience. It challenges the audience to rise above what the man looks to be on the surface. The film forces difficult and current discussions into the light, in a way that focuses on growth and the potential for people to change their conditioning to be better human beings and act out of a desire to love and be loved, instead of acting in anger, hate, and fear.

MARBLES AND BULLETS takes place during the American Civil War but has a message for all time, as it tells the story of, and explores the power dynamic and relationship between the two main characters who are opposites on every level; an illiterate Caucasian Confederate soldier and a literate ten-year-old slave boy, as they wander through the woods on a journey home. The filmmaker, Richard De Witt, intended for the story to challenge audiences to rise above the dark and unrelenting history of racial culture and politics, in order to offer a point of dialogue and conversation that starts from the point of view of universal love, humanity, listening, and understanding. Our film addresses important social issues that positively affect humanity, ranging from racial justice and equity issues to the power of literacy, and the repercussions of U.S. history on today's politics and cultural challenges. We believe Marbles and Bullets is a thought-provoking and unique film that sheds light on these important topics.
