After many years of slow but steady progress, I’m pleased to present to you “Bruce and Dom: Transcripts From a Burgeoning Relationship,”\u00a0a feature-length art film starring Ed Cosgrove and Rick Sempowich.<\/p>\n

“Bruce and Dom” tells the story of one relationship’s life cycle as though a trained stenographer were in place to capture it all. \u00a0Instead of the couple who spoke the words, however, the tale is told through two late, middle-aged men. \u00a0View the trailer here.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Bruce and Dom” is a hybrid of two film mediums, one blossoming and the other established. \u00a0It combines the episodic structure, vignette length and experimental nature of viral video with the plot development, emotional connection and run time of traditional film. \u00a0It will be distributed both as a weekly internet serial and through the film festival circuit.<\/p>\n

“Bruce” and “Dom” are not trained actors, but Regular Joes thrown in the deep end. \u00a0In the film, two relationships evolve before our eyes. \u00a0The trick of it all is discerning the difference.<\/p>\n

How this works<\/h2>\n

“Bruce and Dom” was created with episodic consumption in mind. \u00a0This first week has three episodes to get you familiar with the tone, but each subsequent email will be one episode with a bit of trivia about the film. \u00a0There are 22 episodes in all. \u00a0In addition, there is a radio play version of the movie that you can experience concurrently. \u00a0Without further fanfare, here are the first three episodes:<\/p>\n
