Granville native filmmaker bringing war documentary home for Veteran’s Day

A Granville native, filmmaker and veteran is bringing his war documentary that highlights soldiers’ experiences in Afghanistan to his hometown in honor of Veteran's Day. Paul Hofmeister, who served in the U.S. Army from 2016 to 2020, directed, wrote and edited the film, “ In the Shadow of the Valley .” He’s been screening it around the U.S. in recent months, wanting to share soldiers’ combat experience and inspire more discussion about conflict and war. The first showing will take place 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Otterbein Granville Senior Living Residences, 2158 Columbus Road/ State Route 16. A second showing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Denison University’s Herrick Hall , with Hofmeister hosting a question-and-answer session after the showing. The film features three soldiers who served alongside Hofmeister, with them sharing why they decided to serve, what they experienced in war and how they made it home, according to the film’s website. “Each time that I was lucky enough to serve alongside them, without being boastful about it, they imparted lessons, hard-fought lessons learned to me at different times, and a lot of those stories formed the basis of what I thought would be worth capturing
