Description:

"Jamie which won the PSA-MPD Gold Medal for the best film in the Festival, the MPD Scenario Film Award, and the MPD Golden Scissors Award (for the best film editing) is an 18-minute black-and-white 16mm film with sound on magnetic stripe. It is a Civil War drama of a young Union bugler's act of kindness toward a wounded Confederate and the tragic consequences. Approximately 1500 feet of film were exposed, this being boiled down to the final 630 feet. Klobukowski spent a year on the picture, from its original concept through the writing, scripting, obtaining uniforms, shooting, editing, and finally adding the sound. The latter is all original, the music being especially composed for the film by Paul Bentzen and played by students and staff of Wisconsin State University at Stevens Point. Location areas were wooded sections around Stevens Point, Custer, and West Best, Wisconsin. Participants in the battle scenes were members of the North-South Skirmish Association, and the costumes were either originals or exact replicas furnished by members of that organization" PSA Journal, Sept. 1966, 34.
