ABOUT the film Scratch on Metal:

"I'm extremely proud to submit "Scratch on Metal" and share the film with the local community.  

I strongly believe in the message of the film because of its complex topics: family members dealing to their spouses' experience in the military, difficulties they face when the loved one is away in harms way, and protection the family unit at all costs.

This film was supported by the Veterans Make Movies program through a collaboration of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Los Angeles Public Library. 

The film had an all female crew and included three veterans."
