The Lost Cause, a pro-Confederate history of the Civil War written by Edward Pollard in 1866, has been widely discredited by historians due to its revisionist and inaccurate depiction of the war and the Confederacy. However, the ideas put forth in the book still persist in some corners of American society, and it is important to counter these dangerous ideas with contemporary authors and facts. MARBLES AND BULLETS is a soul-searching, historical fantasy, independent feature film adventure in the likes of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, and the psychological complexity of a Tennessee Williams tale. This character-driven narrative is a well-spun traveler’s tale that tells the story of two characters who become unlikely friends. Quirky characters step into the frame to challenge and enlighten the duo and the audience. It challenges the audience to rise above what the man looks to be on the surface. The film forces difficult and current discussions into the light, in a way that focuses on growth and the potential for people to change their conditioning to be better human beings and act out of a desire to love and be loved, instead of acting in anger, hate, and fear.
