Hello! I’d just like to point out that the scene depicting the plane and parachute drop at night is best seen on a bigger screen, and not a phone or small device. I understand it’s dark but it is much better on bigger screens. In fact, the whole film works better on a bigger screen! The sound is also better with headphones, or a surround sound system. Cheers!
Absolutely the sound quality is amazing with headphones on. Love hearing that mg41 buzzing away and the forest adds an amazing sound quality to the whole atmosphere.
Yeah I adjusted the picture mode option to sports and it looks great
I love stories of the SOE & The resistance of France & the Norwegians as well as those of Northern Africa
much okay all resistance! MUCH respect for those
Who could do that knowing they could die
I’m just grateful.
🙏
Listened thru my Bose head set. The gun shots make me jump a bit. So real, excellent story. Today we have a visitor, French Exchange student visiting us for 2 weeks. Look forward to meeting him.
Is this on dvd that can be rented.
Robert bishop unfortunately not i Just made it for CZcams.
There were so many unsung hero's in the resistance. Sadly today the liberation forces have been forgotten and feelings turned to dislike. The price was a huge cost in lives that gave Europe it's freedom back. Lest we forget.
Let us never forget the extremely high price that was paid for the freedom loving people's of the world that were oppressed and enslaved by the Axis Powers. I thank God Almighty for the great victory against the great evil of the Axis Powers!
This small scale production is ten times better than 90% of the crap that comes outta Hollywood.
so true, tens/hundreds of millions to make shit mostly, Hollywood ois pathetic. This is what ppl want
Well done. My father was D-Day survivor, 29th ID. He spoke of the French resistance on several occasions.
My father fought 1939-1945, in North Africa, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. He was in 4th RHA, 4th Armoured Division, in North Africa he fought alongside the Free French, and in France, Belgium and Netherlands alongside the Free Forces Resistance. And what did the British and Americans do? Betrayed them on the Vercors, betrayed the civilians by bombing towns where they knew, from Enigma, that there were no Germans based there. But they bombed anyway, so the Nazis would not start to think "Why?"
C'est un excellent film court. Il y a du rythme, un fil conducteur, des rebondissements, et tout cela fait qu'on a pas envie de décrocher. Bravo !
I started this film by accident but before I could correct my mistake, it caught me. Great story, characters and actors. Very powerful. I'll try it again with headphones.
An Absolute Gem. Brilliant Production. Impressive.
This portrayed the Free French Resistance in a very moving and real picture.
Acting was superb, narration and subtitles were exceptionally done. The cinematography was very good as well.
How you managed to do all this is under 1 hour is simply amazing. I was riveted to the screen the entire time.
WELL DONE. Merci
I have a brother whose father in law fought with the resistance a strong fearless man who is still alive and still proud. Stand free.
What a well made and compelling movie! Thanks to all who put it together and thanks for posting.
The original WW2 footage adds a touch of authenticity. Nicely done!
the guy lost the radio ann supplies to the germans....omg...woo bozo.
I was a US Special Forces officer. I recognize some of the footage shown in the movie from my SF training in 1974. Much was classified 'secret' at the time. The graduation talk to my class was given by Col. Aaron Bank, the father of US Army Special Forces and a veteran of the OSS in France. He showed our class a radio he had left hidden in France -- exactly like the one shown in the film. Well done with great attention to historical details.
czcams.com/video/cNyUxl0MXWQ/video.html ; War reenactment of the DIA-D in Santander beach plus videos of Parachute Warfare Day and Landing
I disagree. Authenticity is WAY OFF
@@johnlister8145 Let me understand that you -- who are too young to have been there and havie never been in Special Forces now think you can tell me what I experienced. Ah, the arrogance of youth.
@@johnlister8145 Stick to batman mate haha 🤡
This was fantastic, can't believe it was posted 2 years ago and I've only just found it, what an absolute hidden gem! Love the docu-drama style of giving us all of the historical context and facts whilst keeping the drama thoroughly immersive. Also massive props for not ruining it with terrible CGI like so many of these films do, nothing takes you out of the moment more than exploding tanks that look like they were drawn on MS paint 😅 this was extremely skillfully done, I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for more of your work. 👏
Thank you so much!
@@jmtproductions3650 No sir, thank you for the amazing film! I swear these days I much prefer to find indy productions on YT than I do watching whatever tripe Netflix plugs because you can see so much more effort and thought is put into them regardless of budget. Like I'll bet the woodland space you filmed in was only a really small area, yet with creative camerawork made it seem so vast and claustrophobic at the same time. And I can't say enough about the CGI, what you *did* use was done extremely well, sparingly and well utilised, unlike many that use too much and do it awfully. I honestly couldn't tell if you were using blanks in the weapons or if it the effects were added post production.
And I'll add, I watched it on my phone without headphones and you still pulled it off 😉
@@rockstarJDP See I love it when people like yourself get it. For me, the fun in making these films is being limited to what you can use and thinking of ways to help bring it to life on a low budget. For instance, the tanks and halftrack at 30:28 were models I had built when I was younger. I used a green screen and then placed them over live footage of the field.
Going to The Channel Islands was worth it as well. The amount of untouched bunkers and weapons (like the German costal gun at the start) just helped set the setting even more. We picked a quiet day to film at the gun battery, it was fully restored with nobody about, it was like being on a Hollywood set for free!
I will have to do a behind the scenes breakdown video or a directors commentary for the film at some point with a couple of the guys from the film.
Thanks again for the kind words @rockstarJDP, we appreciate it mate!
@@jmtproductions3650 That's awesome! I was wondering about the coastal defences, my flatmate is from Jersey and he's shown me photos of the bunkers and artillery pieces there, I thought they looked familiar!
Also loved the Easter egg you hid in the parachute drop with the navigator talking to the pilot, I recognised it straight away, loved that little piece of detail! A directors commentary would be awesome, would love to hear how you put it all together, where you filmed, what inspired the story etc! Thanks for taking the time to get back to me too :)
Liked the video very much. I appreciate the hard work putting it together. Great job!!!
Great production James is obviously very talented , the best actor and the most involved. The story line was great and the action scenes gripping , well done to u all!
Incroyable!!!! Tres, tres bien, mes amis!! James, un chef-d'oeuvre.
Excellent movie depicting local resistance within a historical context. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Also thankful for CZcams as I rarely watch television.
The only big production French movie I've seen involving WWII was Sarah's Key.
SteveTheFazeman
glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Sarah's key- I will look the tone up. Thanks.
Thank you for a piece of some bravest, yet saddest stories during WW2.
Thanks for the upload,this is quite good.
Loved watching this. Well done to the Turners for a fantastic effort and keeping me riveting for the entire movie. *Salute* to the FFI, this movie does them some justice. May we never Forget. Rgrds Alastair Armstrong (South Africa, Oct 2019)
Alastair Armstrong A lovely comment that mate. Thank you for watching and enjoying!
This was really good - wishing it was longer. Superb production on a small budget.
An excellent, low budget, short film which is well worth watching.
The word Resistance just got so much bigger for me. What an amazing film about an incredibly brave group of people. Thank you for this video.
What would you do?
I think this really relates to where we are headed in this country....
I think we are about to find out what people will do
There was no resistance to occupiers in France for more than a year. The Germans calmly walked the streets of French cities, ate pastries in cafes, and had fun in brothels. Only on August 21, 1941, the communist Pierre Georges shot and killed German naval officer Anton Moser in the Paris metro: this was the first time a Nazi was killed in France. Otherwise, the French willingly went to work for the Nazis.
@@sudfac Some of the French collaborated with the Nazis, that is true. However, there were many who actively or passively resisted. We're far too many collaborators? I would say most definitely. Which was extremely unfortunate for Great Britain as well as the rest of the world.
*were
@@janupczak1643 Until 1943, resistance to Nazis. provided practically only by French communists. In 1941, "French Gestapo" (Carlingue) was created - investigative bodies that helped Nazis to figure out "enemies, Semites and communists": it was headed by two professional criminals, Henri Lafon and Pierre Loutrell, recruiting 32,000 experienced bandits into organization, whose duty was torture, shoot and kill.
That was a great film. Many thanks.
Fantastic!! Well done everyone involved. Well produced, moving and though provoking
In fact, I’m going to watch it again right now!!
@@jamesgough5519 haha thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time and for all the effort to make this short film and to make it available. God bless you & your crew. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you! Your words are much appreciated! 💕
Awesome thanks for the upload
What a fantastic low-budget war movie! Better than so many other blockbuster movies. The weapons sounds & muzzle flashes are highly convincing compared to some pathetic war movies we've seen. And there was no time wasted with a love interest,as a war movie should be,where the only love is the love of killing the enemy & fighting for the flag. I recommend watching this one!
yeah, love scenes in a war movie are b/s
Excellent production! Thank you for sharing
TRuly amazing piece of work with excellent atmosphere and strong messaging
Excellent! Thank you!
Top production by all involved..Soundtrack CO-AG music excellent..
Nice work, and well done on getting a feature finished.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
An excellent movie, thanks for posting.
Very good film. A testament to all those who fight to keep their home their own and not allow an overthrow of their freedom. Thank you for this film.
An excellent short. Thank you..
An excellent film . The realization at the end , that these actions were tied to the town of Oradour Sur Glane was a bit of a surprise . I hope more films like these are being made by you and your team .
Thanks for the comment! Yes I enjoyed writing the fictional resistance characters in with the actual events
And Adolf Diekmanns character. We plan on doing another film as soon as this coronavirus dies down a bit. Thanks for watching!
Have to assume this was relatively low-budget, but the quality, the acting, the story line, etc. was top notch!
Paul Duggan sorry for only getting around to reply to your comment!
The film was made be a small team over the course of 4 years, and it was a big learning curve. I had to teach myself how to do all fields of production, including the effects and such. It was a great learning experience and will be valuable for our next production. Thank you for the kind words!
@@jmtproductions3650 Excellent movie! Well done in every aspect. Glad to hear you're working on a next production. What can you tell us about it, like what's it about, or when can we see it?
Philip deBourguignon hello! Our next film is going to be about British paratroopers after the disaster at Arnhem in Holland stuck behind enemy lines on the run.
Mega bucks does not guarantee qualityn, just saying
@@jmtproductions3650 Thanks for replying. You've done a great job honoring the Resistance. When I was 20 years old, in 1979, I was in Paris and read a book the about the Resistance. It had a great impact on me. The war was still fresh in the minds of many Frenchmen.
I was born in France. 1960. My father died when I was an infant. My mother married an American warrant officer stationed in Orlean where I was born. We came to the States when I was 4. My mother told me stories she experienced as a child and stories her mother and father told her. This movie shows that French people are not cowards like many Americans make them out to be.
Thank you for this.
Well done tribute to the brave, courageous men who fought against evil...We owe everything to you.
Europe lost WW2. FDR played a major role instigating that unnecassary war.
Good movie. Thanks for posting.
JMT Productions: Watched your film last night, and have read all the comments/replies posted thru today (10/30/2019). Just wanna' give you a 'thumbs up!' for your work. I'm a baby-boomer war history buff - especially WWI & II, Korea and 'Nam - and have read several books/watched many movies, documentaries, etc. As noted, I'm a history buff - NOT an historian - and simply try to glean whatever truths and insights I'm able from each work. But 'nuff about me. I really just want to tell you how much I appreciate your and your comrades efforts in this film endeavor.
Yeah, I noticed some things that might have been better, but honestly, the big takeaway for me was the amazing bravery of the French Resistance. Talk about a 'David & Goliath' scenario/death-defying risks! Despite any alleged historical & production miscues/lapses others complain about, still, I'm far MORE grateful for my new appreciation of their efforts.
Also (unfortunately), lotsa' seemingly armchair wannabees here who let y'all know how you shoulda' - and often by inference, they woulda' - done a much better job of it. I simply want to compliment you and your mates on a job WELL DONE, ESPECIALLY given the production conditions/limitations you had to contend with. I'm an old-school musician trying to figure out how to do simple music vids to put up online, so I have just a TINY bit of insight into your challenges. I personally couldn't have done 1/100, 1/1000, anywhere even close to what you folks have accomplished, and I just want to give y'all HUGE props for what you've created!!!
MANY THANKS from a grateful old guy~ :-)
Hello mate thanks for the comment!
You hit the nail on the head. Your comment sums up exactly what I think. I just wish other people would broaden their minds a bit and take it for what it is. But we can’t please everyone! Thanks again for watching sir! :)
Thank you for making a good short movie. Very moving indeed and hope it will never happen again
I don't normally comment but this time I'm compelled ,the story line and production had me. Looking forward to seeing more of your productions well done 👍
Well done and thank you. I enjoyed your work.
This is included in IMDB as "Resist (Short 2017)" with Writer/Director James Turner. He is also listed in the credits as the character Jean.
Just your audio mix to sort out, so important to get that right. Well done.
woow that was awesome,,wish it was longer..great production
Excellant short movie. Riveting to watch. Even felt like you were with the resistance.
Great movie indeed ! The sacrifices made by the French resistance and normal people of France are historic and inspiring. My salute to the film maker and the entire cast and crew for this great effort. Deepak Nayyar (India)
Maybe study history for a minute of your life. The French and their military and government gave up a country supposedly one of the best in a mere 66 days , then you had Paris , never bombed like Rotterdam and London . These wer noble people proud and brave ,maybe the resistance and the Marquis but why not talk about Petain the French traitor the establishment of Vichy France and the collaboration of a nation of gutless in the north and and a traitorship government in Syria , Morocco and Algeria. There were more than a few of both Americans , Canadians and the Brits , unlike those cowards the only group who stood up against Germany for two years and more . So either study history or pull your head out of your backside , your comment shows clearly you know squat but just respond to movies. I can guess where you reside .
BRAVO! Extremely well done, I especially like the focus on this one group of Maquis, of whom we need to know more!
Best way to learn more about the various resistance groups in France is to start to visit the areas where it took place. One of my neighbours' father joined the resistance when he turned 18 and was not willing to be conscripted into the STO and sent to work in Germany. We have many memorials to the folk that were killed, and often iy is easy to find their family and friends still living in the commune. However, it is good to remember that (as in any country) some people were on 'the other side' or no side at all, and listen rather than speak, as it were.
EXCELLENT FILM! Well Done! Very Respectful.
Amazing film, obviously has a low budget, which makes it that much more amazing that they could pull something so good off.
Thanks for the comment mate. If I had a bigger crew I could make things 10 times better, but me and the guys involved made do and all chipped in on covering all job roles that it takes to make films. It’s really stressful, but so much fun. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@jmtproductions3650 You have the knack for telling a really good story in a really good way, and it has nothing to do with budget. (As long as you get at least enough, of course.) I wish you all the financial success, but please, don't ever throw money at a project just because you have it, or especially to add spectacle, or sex appeal, or glitz. You are a great story teller, please don't become a showman--there are plenty of those already.

I've been reading a lot about WW2 lately and enjoyed this film. I was wondering what happened to the French Army during the German Occupation and learned that many of those who managed to avoid capture by the Nazis joined the Resistance. Such brave people. Well done! Thank you!!
Leon degrelle was a french officer of waffen ss u should look him up hes astounding the things he says and how much he believed in Hitler's cause. Which was being free of capitalism and the banks who were drowning them in debt . not the bs narative we were fed.
The French Army was in the UK under the command of De Gaulle. Do some research it's not hard.
@@johnlister8145 oh wow you are on a rampage here! You clearly can't have a discussion without a nerve being touched! So was every single French soldier in the UK then yeah? Because from reading his comment, he said "many", not "all". Instead of telling people to do research, maybe you should calm down, and not bring whatever is going on in your life cloud your thinking on a YouYube video comment section.
Excellent film, good work James.
Stumbled upon this searching for resistance gb brilliabtly put together 10/10
Awesome work!
This was an amazingly good production, especially on only 5K GBP. Good job everyone :)
What's 5K GBP?
My uncle was crew on a B24 that would drop spies into France at 300ft. The crew was not allowed to even talk to them when they were on board.
Very good movie . . . realistic, tense . . . and the small scale helps to make the struggle easy to appreciate.
i"m so impresses from what the director talked about and if there is a chance I would love to see his RESIST, part two. Great allies movement story SIR.
Great film, low budget but better than most Hollywood polished crap they put out these days.
A fantastic production. May we never see the like of this again.
For a low budget film this was fucking awesome. Yes there were plenty of mistakes that could be fixed with money, but thinking of the budget this was shot on... Pure Gold. Well done Lads.The French get a poor rap by the world as raising the white flag at the drop of a hat, but in reality it was very very different. Even today they are the first to riot on the streets against Govt oppression when the rest of the world is silent. RESPECT.
0Zolrender0 the dialogue is on point, you can feel their tensions
The stress they have
French government has been useless obviously. Leave it to the people to get something done.
@Marki FauxWhy dont you just settle down and have a cup of tea. It might calm your nerves
You've got that right!
Not french myself but been there a lot and love it.
Anyone who destroys white supremacists and fascist Nazis is a friend of mine.
Very moving and very relevant, in particular the farmer who had hard choices protecting his family and in the end became a hero, people make history but not in the circumstances of their choosing
Great... Thanks for upload 🙏🇮🇳
Great movie really enjoyed it .... well done keep up the great 👍
Excellent low key movie, well done.
I liked the fusion of history and cinema gear sound guy, fucking nice job.
A beautiful production. Well done to cast and crew.
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
A Superb production, a big thanks to all involved, my hat is raised to you mr Turner, I hope your talent brings you happiness & Success!
What Surprises Me is the Democratic Party today actually think real Americans are just going to Turn in Their Guns to their Marxist/Communist/Socialist ideals like the Quire Butohole says we are! It's going to get real ugly before that happens here!
I really enjoyed this movie please make more.
Marques Green we plan too! Cheers!
Superb!! Must watch.
Thank You! Thank You! Tnank You!
This is more like a documentary. Great film. 8 of 10
A good low budget film about the resistance.
Thank. God. For. The. Brave. Resistance. ! Where. Ever. They. Are !
Thank you.
Done Well - Good Watch. Thanks.
Enjoyable and interesting movie, thank you very much for uploading.
Brilliant well done
Very rarely will i ever disagree with viewing on a bigger screen is better....HOWEVER...the content is what is important in this one. I don't care what people watch this on, as long as they watch it. In the United States, we call our WW2 vets the greatest generation...well...the French resistance is France's greatest generation and have to be some of the bravest to walk the earth. U.S/U.K./France-------> hitler
Nice one thanks.
WOW EXELENT! NICELY DONE 🇫🇷 !
A very good film . 9 out of 10 . Thank you .
Wow….brilliant film 🎥
This film stirs patriotism even now. Men died for the sake of freedom and future.
Rami Murti Paluri , and here we find ourselves again fighting for freedom in 2020
Please upload this kind of war movies
That was really good...i only wish it was longer.
Like 4 years ?
Super fun to watch.
Now this....is awesome!
Shovel RE thanks for watching it mate! The Facebook ad paid off a little haha
@@jmtproductions3650 It certainly did mate lmao
Always fascintated by these films about the WW2 and what went on in France etc, there is a museum to the French Resistance in Paris very close to the Opera House, never got to see it, would love to go back just to visit that place.
Wow. Bloody Brilliant.
NICE WORK
Fantastic!
Excellent.
Great job. Riveting.!
Better than Hollywood.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A dear friend's Grandfather served in the French Resistance and was imprisoned at Stalag 13. Philippe François Marie Leclerc de Hauteclocque wrote the preface to his book. We Were Free, Constantin Joffe.
Never forget!
very well done
Very good movie nice work
So bloody polite "would you put the ramps up please" love it
Haha it’s actual bbc recordings from a bomber mission over Germany in ww2, I think it’s from 1943
