Head off to Marine Corps boot camp in big bold widescreen and become witness to the first twenty-four hours of receiving. From the first moment the bus arrives, the screaming begins. Drill instructors shout at the top of their lungs "Open your Mouth!" and "Hurry the Freak up!" as frazzled, fresh-faced recruits take their first steps into Marine Corps Boot Camp. From the award winning producer/director of "Ears, Open. Eyeballs, Click.," comes the first chapter in a new series, on the Marines from Charlie Company.
"...The film distances the audience while simultaneously putting it in the same position as the recruits: not knowing what will happen next. Director Canaan Brumley captures the initial nervousness and anxiety of the trainees as they stumble through the gauntlet of technical instructors ready to verbally rip them apart at every gaffe. The milieu evokes Thomas E. Rick's book "Making the Corps" and the first half of Stanley Kubrick's 1987 film "Full Metal Jacket." - Los Angles Times
