Set in the Trenches
The Hun is a short film drama set in the trenches during the late stages of the First World War. It follows a young American soldier, Private MacDonald, who has just become his company’s new message runner. Facing imminent German advances, MacDonald and his brothers in arms mentally prepare for the onslaught. The Hun portrays metaphorical themes in the fog of war through storytelling and myth, which can only amount to the reality; war is hell. Written and directed by Marine Corps veteran, Tyler Mendelson, this short film sheds light on a worldwide conflict that is sadly much forgotten, during its one-hundred year anniversary.
