Press Release - Spies in Crinoline
After three years in production, the feature length movie Spies in
Crinoline premiered to a full-house on Sunday, September 20th at the
Cinema Arts Theatre in the Fair City Mall, in Fairfax, VA. This dramatic
equivalent of creative non-fiction is based on Karla Vernon's carefully
researched novel, "The Spy in Crinoline."  Depicting the Civil War
activities of two Fairfax natives, Antonia Ford and Laura Ratcliffe, the
film employs theatrical techniques to tell a historically accurate story.

"My 2006 novel provides the jumping off point for an expanded story
that includes never told before information about Joseph Willard and
the adventures of Confederate spy Laura Ratcliffe" comments
Vernon, who also authored the screen play. Not only historically
sound, but also entertaining, "Spies in Crinoline" weaves extensive
dramatization throughout. According to director Bert Morgan, whose
films The Battle of First Manassas (2004) and The Battle of Chantilly
(2006) won international awards for BLM Productions, "the scenes
and narrative presentations in "Spie's" depict espionage, political
intrigue, imprisonment, love, marriage, and death. We created scenes
that are authentic in period dress, furnishings, sounds, and
mannerisms. Rich details of 19th-century everyday life are built into
the dramatic sequences of the film."
