About a week ago, we received intel that Andrea had recently made a short film. The film she had been working on, titled, "The Bridge", had been in production during March 2005. As far as we knew, Andrea was the main star, and there was a film wrap party to be held Friday 18th March.
The film tells the story of a young woman, Mary, who was recently dismissed from her job as a hospital psychologist, following a patients suicide. Mary then meets an old man who has given up on his life after the death of his wife. She feels connected to this man and though her own fears and failures, reaches him in time and saves his life.
The party was hosted in Floridita and Meza bar and restaurant, on Wardour Street, London. It was an exclusive event, and guests were treated to live entertainment from a Cuban hip hop band "Triangulo Oscuro", and a short dance act from "The IT Girls". The films behind the scenes footage was shown on repeat all evening via a large projection screen, followed by a series of Nissan advertisements, the films sponsor. There were also a few large stills of the movie on display.
Sadly, Andrea did not show up for the event. At about 12:30 am, the films director, Richard Raymond, took the stage to give a small speech. He thanked everyone for attending, and for the support received. He thanked a few co-workers individually and then he held up one of the huge pictures of Andrea, and said, "Thanks to Andrea Corr, who unfortunately couldn't be here tonight."
"The Bridge" runs for approximately 17 minutes and was filmed at Shepperton Film Studios during March 2005. Based on an original screenplay by Ludwig Shammasian, British film director Richard Raymond brings this thrilling and dark short tale to life. The film will be shown at this years Cannes Film Festival, which begins on May 11th this year.
Here I have a set of five questions that I asked "The Bridge" director, Richard Raymond.
Hayley: What was it like working with Andrea Corr?
Richard: Great fun. She's an incredible woman - very focused, very talented. She is a great screen actress.
Hayley: How long did the film take to produce (how many filming days)?
Richard: 12 days in total - it's the biggest short film ever produced.
Hayley: Who are the other actors involved in the project?
Richard: Leonard Fenton.
Hayley: Was this your first film project?
Richard: No. I was nominated for Best Director in 1998 at the C4/BAFTA awards for my last short film called THE FIRST DAY.
Hayley: Any reason why Andrea wasn't at the party?
Richard: Sadly she was in Ireland and unable to attend - but she wanted to very much!
