About Us
The Flight was produced by my independent film company in New York City, Alessandro Croseri Productions. I have been in the film industry for more than a decade as an actor, writer and filmmaker, and have enjoyed the hobby of keeping pigeons since I was a boy on my grandfather’s farm. I have worked with prominent directors such as Woody Allen, Sidney Lumet and Abel Ferrara, and actors such as Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Vin Diesel.
The Flight was created as a tribute to the brave war efforts of homing pigeons and a reminder of the incredible contributions they have made to a free, democratic society. The film was developed to spread the message that these were extraordinary pigeons that performed extraordinary feats of heroism – warriors whose service to their country was recognized with the most prestigious medals of honor like the Purple Heart, Dicken Medal and Croix De Guerre (France).
I am honored that The Flight has been included in the museum collections of the Imperial War Museum London and the American Air Museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford, United Kingdom.
The Flight is also in the collection of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Museum, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, U.S.A. ; where the history of American war pigeons began and is kept alive today.
It is important that the legacy of their heroic war efforts be preserved and remembered.
