Short Summary

  The Bridge tells the story of a man at a major cross-road in his life. He is torn between protecting the coastal land he grew up near, and the promise of a successful career far from home. The story means a lot to me. I grew up in a town near Galveston, fished this beach with my dad, and this same coast is being eyed by industrialization. I wanted to see the conflict from the eyes of a man who had that choice in his hands. 

  We are working to complete this film for our Advanced Narrative Production course at The University of Texas at Austin. Although it is a student film we are taking on this production as seriously and professionally as possible and we hope to involve you in achieving our goals. Your contributions will allow us to cover various production costs that we need to make this film a reality.

What We Need & What You Get

  This is an independent and ambitious project that will require a lot of talent from our cast and crew. We need to bring everyone down to our location in Galveston, TX and execute the production in only a few days.

What are the costs?

·  Professional Cast

·  Location Permits

·  Meals and Snacks

·  Equipment Rental

·  Gas & Transportation

·  Production Design (Props)

·  Costumes

What you get in return!

  Your contributions won’t go unnoticed, to thank you for helping us make the film we want to give you a piece of the film itself in both physical keepsakes and digital content. Depending on the level of your contribution you can get a poster, a gorgeous high quality still from the film, and even a digital copy of the movie once it is completed.

The Impact

  We see our film as more than just a dramatic narrative, we hope we can make a statement about the importance of preserving our natural environment. Natural areas like the Galveston coast are always at risk of being industrialized, at times with negative effects to the local wildlife and surrounding areas. Our film includes characters who all have different, but equally valuable connections to the beach. In turn, we hope audiences will gain a new perspective after viewing the movie. 

Risks & Challenges

  We’ve mentioned this is an ambitious project and we say that for several reasons. Our location takes our entire team out of Austin and out of our comfort zone. We have to take care of our cast and crew and make them as comfortable as possible. Furthermore, the beach environment presents hazardous conditions to our equipment, and we must find means of protecting it. Lastly, movie sound is tricky on a beach, but we've got plans. We're tackling all these challenges in a few ways. 

  1. We are doing intense pre-production and getting as much solved as early as possible. 
  2. We know our location. We have visited Galveston and talked to many locals to trouble-shoot and analyze all potential issues. 
  3. We have put together an extremely talented and hard-working production crew. 
  4. We have created this campaign to get more help from all our wonderful family and friends.  
Other Ways You Can Help! 

  We understand that we don't all have deep pockets, but there are more ways to help. If you can't donate money the next best thing for our crew is food. It would be extremely helpful to receive food donations or discounts if you have any connections in Galveston, La Porte or the surrounding cities. We will also accept fruit, water, and other snacks. Just contact us at thebridgemovie2016@gmail.com to set up a donation.
