Navy support for 2025 film "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning"

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All documents pertaining to collaboration between the US Navy and the production of the 2025 feature film "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Such documents may include but should not be not limited to: script notes; production assistance agreements; photographs; and all records of communications between employees of the Navy and members of the cast, crew, and production company of "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," including memos, notes of meetings and conference calls, emails, and other forms of communication.

I am the Director of Research Operations at a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called The Decoding Culture Foundation as well as the editor-in-chief and a contributor to a research magazine published by said foundation titled "Cultural Engineering Studies." These documents will be used for public education and research purposes. I therefore request a waiver of all fees that may otherwise apply. Attached is a document with organization letterhead confirming my position, as well as the organization's 501(c)(3) application and approval form.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Brett Carollo
