As you may have already guessed,
I am Jon Scott Bennett…
I am a documentary filmmaker with a B.A. in History. I have been fascinated with history my entire life; reading books, attending lectures, viewing films, and visiting preserved sites like Gettysburg, Saratoga, Antietam, and Forts Montgomery and Clinton since I was a young boy. My mother enjoys telling people I “learned to walk” on the Gettysburg Battlefield during one of my first trips with the family.
For years, friends and family have graciously enjoyed my recounting of stories I learned from books, films, and online research. I would even do extensive research on the events portrayed in video games such as Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed and share their significance with friends as we played the games together. I’ll always appreciate their indulgence in allowing me to be a pseudo-history teacher outside the classroom.
I have a passion for film and storytelling; having started making home movies when I was youngwith Nerf guns and G.I. Joe’s. Over time, my skills in writing, filming, and editing sharpened to allow for the content presented here.
It is my hope that the mixture of education and entertainment offered by our films will allow for information that may otherwise fall flat, or not be discussed in the classroom, to resonate with our audience and provide a fresh and balanced perspective of history and our everyday life.
