It has been awhile since we posted anything on the website (we update much more frequently on our Facebook/Instagram pages – @NarrowBridgeFilms.)

Our last post was in… Jesus… October of 2022. Well, since then, we have done a bit.

We filmed a brand new short comedy called ROLL CHECK. This one was written by Sam Platizky and Directed by Joey Mosca. It stars Sam, Isaac Platizky, Dan Gregory, Rivers Duggan, Larry Rosen, Christopher Lucas, Joey Mosca, Jayleen S. Perez, and Nicole Colon. Joey was the co-DP with Daniel Hendlowitch who was the camera operator, and Sami Saad was the assistant camera operator. Joey edited. It has already gotten some festival love.

• It premiered at the Rhino Comedy Shorts Film Festival on April 28th where it won Best Film and Best Actor (Sam Platizky).
• It won Best Short Comedy and Best Editing (Joey Mosca) at the May 2023 NJ Film Awards where it was also nominated for Best Actor (Sam Platizky), Best Supporting Actor (Dan Gregory), Best Director (Joey Mosca), and Best Ensemble.
• It is an Official Selection of the Golden Door International Film Festival, which runs from June 22nd-June 24th.
• It is an Official Selection of the Gen Con Film Festival in Indianapolis. It will screen at that festival on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 11am in the Gamer Short Film Block.

Joey completed work on the Remastered edition of our first film BLAMING GEORGE ROMERO. That will premiere at the Gen Con Film Festival on Thursday, August 3, 2023 at 10:30pm.

Our horror anthology TALES FROM THE NARROW BRIDGE continues it’s successful festival run. Since last we posted…

• It won Best Film at the Northeast Film Festival back in December.
• It won Best Adventure-Fantasy-VFX Film at the MLC Awards.
• It won Best Horror/Science Fiction/Genre Feature Film at the Tagore Film Festival.
• It is an Official Selection of the Horror Hotel Film Festival in Ohio and will screen on Saturday, June 10 at 2:35pm. We won 4th place horror feature and are nominated for Best Actress (Megan Hoche).
• It is an Official Selection of the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase in Fort Worth, TX this July. More details as we get them.

And that is pretty much that on the Narrow Bridge front.

Narrow Bridge adjacent news:

• Isaac Platizky’s hilarious screenplay A CHANUKAH STORY is an Official Selection at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase.
• Dan Gregory & Jayleen S. Perez’s short film AIR BND is also an Official Selection at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase.
• Sam Platizky’s romantic comedy OFF-SCRIPT is a Quarter Finalist in the Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition.

Next week, we will be bringing “Tales from the Narrow Bridge” to the Orlando Film Festival. Our screening dates are Friday, October 28th at 6pm and Monday, October 31st at 8pm! Both screenings are at the CMX Cinemas Plaza Cafe 12 at 155 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL. A one day ticket can be purchased HERE.

If you’re in the area, stop on by! If you’re not, but you know someone who is, let them know! Word of mouth is how we will get butts in seats.

In addition to that, we are also Official Selections of the Boston Horror Comedy Film Festival & the MLC Awards!

We are very grateful for these official selections and proud of our amazing cast and crew. Stay tuned for more from our festival journey!

October 1st is here, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll be watching a mix of your favorite horror movies and brand new horror movies as you can this month.

If you’re watching, might we suggest watching some of the NBF Horror Classics?

Happy Narrow Bridge Films Day! For those that don’t know, back in 2018 at the Golden Door International Film Festival, we were presented with certificates from the Mayor of Bayonne, NJ (NBF’s hometown) declaring September 23 to be Narrow Bridge Films Day! And so, this is our 5th year celebrating.

Every year since, we have tried to release something special on 9/23, and this year is no different.

For the first time ever on the Narrow Bridge Films’ website, you can watch FIRST and LAST REHEARSAL OF THE DANGEROUS KITTEN for free! Previously, they were only available to watch at festivals or on the IFT Network streaming platform. You can watch them on their respective pages or just below.

Also, for the first time anywhere, you can see the latest trailer for TALES FROM THE NARROW BRIDGE. We usually like to use popular music for our trailers, but this is the first one that is completely made up of music that is in the movie created by our composers Andy Kopacz and Masatora Goya.

ALSO, you can now Rent or Buy YELLOW SCARE on Vimeo on Demand HERE. Previously, Yellow Scare has only been available on the IFT Network or on Amazon.

Finally… our first film BLAMING GEORGE ROMERO. We filmed it in 2010, and released it in 2011. Unfortunately, due to a hard drive crash, we only had a low quality version of the movie. However, a few weeks ago, we found a backup that had higher quality versions saved. But that’s not all… Joey Mosca has started the process of “remastering” the movie so that, when he has finished, we will be able to release BLAMING GEORGE ROMERO: THE ULTIMATE EDITION.

It is still early days, so we do not have more information on how and when we will be releasing this version of the movie, but stay tuned to our various social media pages for updates.

And that is all for this Narrow Bridge Films Day. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider sharing our projects with your friends and families. Word of mouth and sharing are the best ways to help indie companies like ours.

See you at the movies!

That’s all for now. We hope to have more exciting festival news for you soon!

Last week, NBF visited the Gen Con Film Festival in Indianapolis where “Tales from the Narrow Bridge” was an Official Selection!

We had a good sized screening at 11pm on Thursday, August 4th & we thought that the reaction was overall positive.

While there, we also participated on some panels. Isaac participated on the Film Finance Panel & the Screenwriting Panel, while Sam moderated the latter.

We also got to screen Joey Mosca’s “Con of Cthulu,” (a short fake trailer) in the Festival’s Horror-Comedy Block. Joey actually introduced us to Gen Con & has been attending for several years now.

Beyond the festival, we got to experience the Convention itself, the Indianapolis Zoo, and the Sun King Brewery.

Overall, even though we did not win anything (and the Festival doesn’t have nominations) we had a great time at this year’s Festival. And now, we’re looking forward to whatever fest is next! Stay tuned.

It’s been a little while since our last update, but here is the latest on the festival journey of “Tales from the Narrow Bridge!”

At the 2022 Couch Film Festival Summer Edition, we were nominated for Best Feature Film, Dan Gregory was nominated for Best Actor in a Feature, and Megan Hoche was nominated for Best Actress in a Feature!

At the July 2022 NJ Film Awards, we won BEST ENSEMBLE, Isaac Platizky won BEST ACTOR IN A FEATURE, Maglinda Perez won BEST FX MAKEUP, and Joey Mosca won BEST SOUND DESIGN! (Also, our short comedy First won BEST CONCEPT!)

Then, on Thursday, July 21st, we attended the Bergen International Film Festival in Bergenfield, NJ. Isaac Platizky was nominated for Best Actor in a Feature. And we won BEST ENSEMBLE!!!

Next up: THE GEN CON FILM FESTIVAL. We will be in Indianapolis, Indiana next week for this one. “Tales” screens at 11pm on Thursday, August 4th. If you’re in the area, check it out!!!

On Sunday, June 12th, “Tales from the Narrow Bridge” had its second festival screening at the Jersey City Horror Film Festival at the Brightside Tavern (where the beer is always cold).

We had a nice size screening & Q&A.

At the award show that followed Isaac Platizky won Best Actor for his work in the film!

And we won our first “Best Feature Film” award for “Tales.” This is a very special award that means a great deal to all of us. It is a testament of the hard work that every single member of our incredible and talented cast & crew put into this film over the last few years.

Excited to continue our festival run and hope that the rest of it is as fun & successful as our first two.

Thank you to Larry Rosen, CJ Cullen, and everyone who made it a great day & night.

This past weekend (5/12-5/14), the 11th Annual Golden Door International Film Festival was held in Jersey City, NJ.

After a fun opening night gala on the 12th, we had the world premiere of “Tales from the Narrow Bridge: The Wyrmwood Devil” on FRIDAY THE 13th. A spooky day for a spooky movie.

A good number of our cast & crew were able to attend (although there were a few who were sadly absent)… But our screening was a sold out, standing room only red carpet event! The reactions were positive. People laughed when they were supposed to and really seemed to enjoy.

Saturday night was the closing night awards gala… and even though, I know that each and every person involved in this movie deserves all of the awards, it was still a VERY pleasant surprise to receive as many awards and nominations as we did.

Isaac Platizky won BEST ACTOR IN A FEATURE. Jenna Kildosher won BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. William R. Farley won BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR.

In addition to that, Megan Hoche was nominated for BEST ACTRESS IN A FEATURE. Stephanie Marie Alvarez was nominated for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. I (Sam Platizky) was nominated for BEST DIRECTOR. Joey Mosca was nominated for BEST CINEMATOGRAPHER. And the entire film was nominated for BEST FEATURE FILM.

Thank you to the Sorvinos (Bill & Michele) and everyone at the Golden Door Film Festival who helped to make this such an amazing weekend.

A wonderful weekend and a fantastic start to our horror anthology’s festival run. Here’s hoping that it’s a great one!

It has been a long road to get to this point, but we are pleased to finally announce that Tales from the Narrow Bridge: The Wyrmwood Devil will be having its world premiere at the Golden Door International Film Festival on Friday, May 13th at 7pm at Sip Studios. You can buy your tickets to this RED CARPET EVENT right HERE.

As you may know, we started filming Tales in 2018. We developed some of the segments of the anthology at the Brazen Giant Ensemble in NYC, and continued filming through summer 2021 (with a pandemic sized pause in the middle).

We are very excited for people to get their first look at this movie that we have been working so hard on, and we hope that you can attend!
