Netflix, Then Exit

At Netflix corporate offices with the team. I’ll miss them!

Recently your favorite United States Air Force / United States Space Force Entertainment Liaison Office visited Netflix' corporate office to share more about how creatives and production companies can get help with military depiction in storytelling. (Thanks to our own Sara Francis for arranging.)

Aside from meeting Amy Lemisch (pictured, center/right,) it was good to reconnect with David Hartle, who joined us on a tour of March Air Reserve Base earlier this month.

It's a message worth repeating, and one we hope the entertainment industry will hear -- If you're working on a project with military depiction, you might alienate a significant portion of your audience by not paying attention to details. Your project is one left-handed salute or one mis-labeled aircraft away from being either well done or the topic of memes in military/veteran subreddits.

There's no need to spend money on elaborate sets or backdrops. No need to CGI military assets. We'll help you with access to the real thing (usually at no cost!) From our perspective, it's in our best interest to help you depict Airmen and Guardians accurately. It's our full-time job.

Well, it WAS my full-time job ...

As is the norm in the military, my tour of duty is coming to an end; it's time for me to hang up the uniform. Pictured (2nd from right) is my replacement. Her name is LtCol Gina McKeen and she's an OUTSTANDING officer with a passion for all things entertainment. She's also a highly-regarded leader in the military public affairs community. Although I'll miss our small team, I can't wait to see how they thrive under her leadership.
