Led by Benjamin Patton (grandson of WWII's General George S. Patton, Jr.) and a team of professional film instructors, PVP's free 3-day I Was There Film Workshops help veterans learn the art of filmmaking while working alongside fellow vets. These screenings help veterans, military families, and community members connect and better understand each other.

PVP hosts collaborative film workshops at veteran-friendly facilities and colleges across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Oregon throughout the year. Interested vets may register at pattonveteransproject.org, call (970) 657-5500, or email [email protected].
