Our producing team is dedicated to creating content that explores and shares the diverse and real stories of our Veterans. Our team leader, Producer and Writer, Lisa Regina has spent 8 years interviewing military men and women of all branches of service and all wars in order to honor and give voice to Veterans true stories.
Most importantly, the one on one interviews have offered Lisa Regina insight into the lives of our Veterans, providing realistic and powerful content for the writing of the characters and storylines in the series. Lisa has adapted the Veterans true stories to each episode of the dramatic series, Heroic Episodes. Learning about the hardships military men and women often face, Lisa also created the VFA-the Veterans Film Apprenticeship. The VFA provides veterans training and job opportunities in the film and aviation industry.
The Heroic Episodes team includes military consultants who are dedicated to the series and who give the process of writing each episode authenticity. Heroic Episodes is deeply grateful to have our Veterans as part of our production team. We respect and value each and every Veteran who has served and sacrificed for our freedom and for our country.
The Veterans who consult our creative team offer insight into military life. It also provides engaging content with characters that are rich and relatable. Some of the stories are inspiring, while others share the struggles of our Veterans returning home. With the guidance of our military consultants, Heroic Episodes is able to provide a platform to military men and women, who have a strong desire to have their stories told.
The camaraderie of our production team allows our individual talents to emerge and create content of integrity and grit.

Heroic Episodes is a dramatic television series in development based on true Veterans stories.The objective is to provide Veterans with a platform to tell their real stories through the characters in the series.
The story is about Veterans and their families and how they often find struggles, a war of a different kind when transitioning back home. Despite the challenges when returning home, some Veterans continue to serve their communities and save lives even after their military service.
The series follows the McMullen's, a family whose pride is deeply rooted in patriotism and military service. Beginning with son Mike's return home to Atlantic City who becomes an amputee from an IED blast as a result of his service in Afghanistan.
Each episode will interweave and introduce into the series, a new Veteran's story of returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to urban America.

As one Vietnam Veteran said to Regina during an interview, "Lisa, you've survived your own war"
Regina's strong desire to help veterans comes from her personal experience with PTSD and her struggles to heal her physical and emotional pain of trauma.
As a producer, Lisa Regina has interviewed hundreds of military men and women of all branches of service and all wars. The vast number of veterans stories has led Regina to realize that 'trauma can often bond us.'
This bond can lead to great things, such as the Veterans Film Apprenticeship.
