RUBICON PRODUCTIONS, in conjunction
with Maryland Public Television announces the production of The War of 1812 in
Maryland. The one hour television
special will highlight the various locations across the state that played a
role in the often "forgotten war." Highly stylized recreations will be used to
tell the fascinating stories behind the war. "We've been doing recreations for many years and our ability
to do so is one of the main reasons MPT wanted us to help them with this
important project" says Director Drew Perkins. The goal of the documentary is
to remind Marylanders that the War of 1812 is an integral part of the State's rich
heritage. According to Producer Midge FlInn Yost, "You would
be amazed at how many people in Maryland do not realize how significant this
state was in this war-not just with Fort McHenry but with the thousands of
everyday people who rose to the occasion and sent the British home. We hope to
shed light on this reality." The television special is scheduled to air in May
of 2012.
