WATERFORD'S WAR

On Whitson Pond

Whitson Pond, Philomont, Virginia - January 2006

 

Christian Amonson as Gabriel Moss - whose conscience - and an empty stomach - cause him to want to cross the Potomac River and give himself up in the spring of 1865.

 

Filming on horribly hot summer days started to look pretty good while sitting by Whitson Pond in the middle of January.
Director Meredith Bean McMath and Cinematographer Peter Buck got the takes as quickly as possible so they could head back to a warm editing room!
