Bridge of Defiance: The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge

The film The Bridge of Defiance uses AI to reimagine the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, bringing the landscape and this brief but pivotal Revolutionary War clash to life in a new way. Created through extensive research and collaboration with historians and The Parks Channel, the project explores how emerging technology can deepen public understanding of historic sites. Though AI proved unpredictable and imperfect, the experiment offers a fresh approach to historical storytelling as America marks its Semiquincentennial.
