Stop That Homeless Man is an American Hero

Casting featured background actors for a ReelShort vertical. The story follows Ethan Barrett, a military rucksack, and the ashes of his fallen war brother. When he notices a terrified woman being forced to withdraw money from an ATM, Ethan calmly intervenes and single-handedly rescues her kidnapped child, revealing extraordinary combat skills. Though he brushes off the praise as “just doing what any soldier would do,” it’s soon revealed that Ethan is no ordinary veteran—he is a highly decorated former military hero whose actions draw the attention of the FBI and the President of the United States. Ethan is publicly honored with the Medal of Honor, which he accepts not for himself, but on behalf of his fallen comrade, Pierce, whose life he feels was the true sacrifice.
