Movie Premiere- Bridge to Nowhere

Last night I attended the movie premiere for Bridge to Nowhere. I was there by invite from Michael Dolan, owner and studio head of Smithfield Street Productions. It was a great time and I am very excited for the cast and crew of the film, especially since it's a Pittsburgh based project.

It's directed by Hollywood superstar Blair Underwood and features Ving Rhames (who is a heck of a nice guy, but is still one bad lookin' dude in person- just like his movies). Also in the film was Thomas Ian Nicholas, he was a lot of fun, just a great guy. You would know him from the American Pie movies. I wish both of these guys great success, it was a real pleasure meeting both.

The after party was at Alto Lounge, an ultra cool place to be. It was a nice evening. I am grateful to Mike for his hospitality and I hope he realizes great success with this project.

Go see it. It's gritty, a little bit like Scarface, but rather than doing another a story about a drug lord, this story is about the rise and fall of the foot soldiers within the system. They are a couple guys from the North Side, friends who are looking for nothing more than a bridge to a better life. They discover it and then it begins to fall apart.

See it because Mike Dolan is a great guy, because it's filmed in Pittsburgh, because Ving Rhames is one bad dude, Blair Underwood is a great director and Thomas Ian Nicholas is a great guy.

Ok- now go see the movie.

Ciao!
