Unleash The Cosmic Bond. The Bridge Beckons!

Official Selection: Sundance International Film Festival 2024 and SXSW 2024!

Tina and her elderly dog visit a mysterious clinic offering human-to-pet communication. However, they soon get more than they bargained for when two sinister doctors uncover a bond between them that transcends time and space. They might just be the key to something greater… but at what cost?

Written & Directed by DIMITRI SIMAKIS

Produced by SUKI-ROSE

We feel passionately about The Rainbow Bridge because we feel passionately about life, and the exploration of what it means to be alive. Often the experience of death and grief are glossed over in the larger conversation of ‘what is a life’. In the tradition of movies like Ikiru we’ve come to feel that a story about death is actually always a story about life. Our personal experiences with grief shape how we approach the act of living and for us The Rainbow Bridge is a very outrageous and gonzo way to process what it means to live a life in spite of loss.
