In The Trenches, an inspiring new independent film, takes audiences deep into the heart of both World War I and the challenges of filmmaking. The film follows an ambitious director who embarks on the daunting task of bringing a large-scale World War I epic to life. With large scale filmmaking challenges and harsh weather conditions working against them, the director and crew must navigate day-to-day struggles, proving that the battle to create meaningful cinema is just as fierce as the one fought in the trenches of war.
Directed by Benjamin Scotford, In The Trenches is a raw and powerful behind-the-scenes drama that captures the emotional and physical toll of a filmmaker’s journey.

Filming in remote locations and under extreme conditions, In The Trenches showcases the resilience of a dedicated team, as they push through logistical challenges, unpredictable weather, and the constant pressure of working without the financial safety net of a big studio. Each setback tests the limits of the crew’s resolve, but their shared commitment to the film’s vision keeps them going despite the odds.
