"Bridge and Tunnel" has had as rewarding of a year as we ever could have hoped for.  The film screened in twenty separate festivals around the United States, had a theatrical run in Los Angeles, and  we even released our soundtrack digitally through iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Spotify.  In 2015, we plan on continuing our festival run and distributing the film digitally worldwide.  

We accomplished this while remaining truly independent of any industry influence, relying instead on the support of ourselves, our friends, our families, whatever few fans we had, and our community to create a piece of art that we're proud of and believe has the potential to breakthrough to it's target audience.
Check out our theatrical trailer in 4K Ultra High Definition:



But as 2015 inches closer, we keep on hearing the same jargon from potential distributors.  "We want your movie, the marketplace wants to see it, but we won't make a DVD or Blu Ray.  People don't like to own physical copies anymore."

As grateful as we are for that feedback, we feel as though the problem isn't with consumer demand, it's with the industry not putting enough effort into printing a product worth owning.  People want to own something they feel is special.  Something that encompasses everything that Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, or iTunes can't give you: unique packaging, a CD copy of the soundtrack, interviews with the cast, a Q+A with the filmmaking team, music videos, live concerts, deleted scenes and much more.

As a film about millenials made by millenials, we've tried to capture the spirit of our generation by remaining independent of any studio or distributor influence.  Now, in that same spirit, we've decided to maintain our mechanical rights and create a box set on our own.

Our goal is to create a 3-Disc combo pack entitled "Bridge and Tunnel" The Definitive Collection.  The box set will include a DVD of the award winning film, a Blu-Ray of the film in HD loaded with additional content, and a CD of the film's soundtrack.


But here's the catch: we are only printing to order.

Allow "Bridge and Tunnel" stars and co-producers Chris Viemeister and Joe Murphy to elaborate:



About "Bridge and Tunnel"
- "Bridge and Tunnel" is a feature film about a group of twenty-somethings living in suburbia.  The story unfolds over the course of 2012 as the characters struggle to overcome student debt, heartache, and Hurricane Sandy.

The film stars, Ryan Metcalf (Damsels in Distress), Arjun Gupta (Nurse Jackie), Chris Viemeister, Natalie Knepp (The Last 5 Years), Joe Murphy, Mary Kate Wiles (The Lizzie Bennett Diaries!!!), Brianne Berkson (Dare),Annet Mahendru (The Americans),   Michael Jones (Former WWE Superstar, Virgil), and Wass Stevens (House of Cards).   The film also features cameo appearances by Kenneth Kimmins (Coach), Liz Larsen (Tony Award nominated actress), and Kurt Metzger (Inside Amy Schumer).

"Bridge and Tunnel" was written and directed by Jason Michael Brescia (The Newest Pledge) and was produced by (in alphabetical order): S. Hamza Ahmad, Bob Burton, Adam Lawrence, Benjamin Levitt, Sean Murray, and Douglas Torres.  The film was edited by Alex Oppenheimer, scored by Ryan Hunter (ex-Envy on the Coast, 1ST VOWS), and shot by Trevor Wineman.

A portion of "Bridge and Tunnel" was funded by two previous indie gogo campaigns in which we raised around $15,000 to help produce the movie.  As a result, our donors were given invitations to various screenings and other perks.  This time around we're not asking you to help us make a movie, we're asking you to help us complete our vision and bring posterity to this project that invested so much of our lives into.


What You Get for Donating -
