In memory Beth Quigley who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center the award winning documentary Severe Clear will be shown to raise money for ReserveAid.
ReserveAid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing financial support to the families of Reserve Service Members from all services, who have been called to active duty and are experiencing financial difficulty. Their goal is to alleviate the emotional and financial burdens placed on the men and women called to serve our country by supporting their families at home.
Severe Clear is a 90 minute non-political documentary based on the journal notes of First Lieutenant Mike Scotti as well as video footage shot by him and other members of 1st Battalion, 4th Marines on the outset of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Mike, who met Beth at Red Bank Catholic High School, carried her picture with him during his tour in Iraq and his memory of her is threaded throughout the film. Produced by Sirk Productions, directed by Kristian Fraga (“Anytown, USA”) and featuring original score by Cliff Martinez (“Traffic”, “Narc”, “Solaris”) the film offers an unflinching look at the uncertainty, disorder and chaos of war from the remarkable perspective of one Marine. This film is rated R.
