LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
A Nevada filmmaker is showcasing his documentary on the Nevada National Guard's tour of duty in Afghanistan at the Las Vegas Film Festival.

"Hooligans at War" chronicles one month of the Nevada soldier's lives during their 2009 deployment.

Filmmaker Tyler Elliott self-financed the project and went through eight months of red tape just to be cleared to be imbedded with the Wildhorse Squadron.

"I got a variety of missions," Elliott said. "Every day was something different. Firefights, IED's, rocket attacks, suicide bombers and besides the whole combat thing there was a lot of down time. So I got them hanging around the base, goofing off, doing humanitarian missions, routine patrols. So it's a well rounded film."
