One cold late night, providence allows her the opportunity to save a frail old man called Simon, (Leonard Fenton), who has given up after loosing his wife of fifty years. Strangely, during a phone call, she feels connected to this man, though her own fears and failures.

Mary comes to realise that this may be her chance for salvation and desperately attempts to discover his location so she may reach him in time and save his life. However the truth will reveal itself to be more terrifying than she could imagined.

Production Release:

Based on an original screenplay by Ludwig Shammasian, British film director Richard Raymond brings this highly anticipated and thrilling, dark tale to life. After garnering international attention and accolades for his award-nominated Channel 4 film “The First Day”, Raymond turned his attention towards directing television commercials, but his passion quickly pulled him back into the dramatic arena.

“I came across the original script for The Bridge many years ago, and immediately connected with its understated messages of love and loss.” Raymond said. “I worked closely with the writer for long periods of time in further developing the screenplay into a much darker ‘film noir' piece, that fitted the visual objectives which I wanted to convey and explore. The story is really Mary's journey, and the emotional experiences that she has to overcome in order to save herself. The way the tale unravels is intense and quite gripping at times. It's a very exciting project.”

Casting is now completed with Andrea Corr headlining an impressive and distinguished cast.
