Shortly after completing The Pool, I found myself in another location that inspired a similar feeling of solitude and sense of magical possibility. When crossing this bridge you exit an average suburban landscape and step into world where the unassuming grandeur of the surrounding nature makes you feel suddenly small and lost. Once on the other side, you feel as if you've resurfaced into reality again. This little pocket of wonder in the middle of Sydney inspired me to tell a story about the power the natural world holds over us, even when we're not paying attention.
I took on the challenge of making The Bridge as a one woman cast and crew again, which offered a wonderful opportunity to level up my filmmaking skills, and learn a lot of new ones along the way. I hope you enjoy crossing The Bridge as much as I did.
