The bridge | Justin Possenti

Official Selection of The Cannes Short Film Corner 2011 Official Selection of The Ascona Film Festival 2012 Official Selection of The Art Of Brooklyn Film Festival 2012 Inspired by Sunday afternoon silent film television from childhood, The Bridge is a moving picture that tries to capture the essence of a more simple time in film making. Rod Luzzi stars as Max, an erstwhile young man on the quest for love in the modern world. Armed with pure hope, a feisty spirit and a dapper yet archaic fashion sense Max travels the metropolis with one thing in mind. To find his mate. Shayna Landau stars as, Isabella, the object of Max's affections. Right off the cover of a magazine, Isabella communicates the image of a contemporary beauty on the move in the big city. The Bridge is an homage to the films and to the sensibilities of yesteryear from first time filmmaker, Justin Possenti. Shot on the run in New York City on DV for three threads short of a shoe string budget Possenti interweaves the past and the present with aplomb and precision. Fabio Acri's delicately nuanced score sweeps you up into Max's sky. Located on the Internet via Naples, Italy, Mr. Acri provides just the right touch of love and whimsy to a beautifully crafted composition. The Bridge catapults a time from before, a time not too far in the distance, into the present day hectic world of technology and shifting values and asks the question. Will love endure?
