'From Under The Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls' official film poster released.

'From Under The Bridge' was officially submitted to the Cannes Film Festival today. This is the first official submission for the film. Although the selection is ultimately in the hands of the festival review board, it is an excellent, relevant and important film and we are confident it possesses the quality and strength to be seriously considered for selection. For writer and director, Paul James, and producer, Connie Jo Seachrist, the Cannes Film Festival has always been one of the key targets for the film's World Premiere and they are proud and ecstatic to have achieved this milestone. Paul and CJ would like to sincerely thank everyone involved, including the cast, crew, post-production team, investors and supporters, for the dedication and help in completing this amazing film.

​A special 'thank YOU!' to the Megan Meier Foundation for continuing to be part of the journey.

Please join us in crossing those fingers and toes as we await the decision.

The 'From Under The Bridge' production team.

In one of the most anticipated conversations to ever occur during the 13 year development of the 'From Under The Bridge' film project, Paul James connected with Tina Meier on Friday morning (November 13th, 2020) via a 90 minute Zoom call. Tina is the mother of Megan Taylor Meier, whose tragic story is the original inspiration behind the script and film. Tina founded the 'Megan Meier Foundation' in 2007, following the suicide of her daughter on October 17th, 2006 amidst a horrific cyber-bullying attack, wrought with an extreme application of cyber-manipulation. It is accurate to state; when Paul learned of this unbelievable occurrence 13 years ago, he was immediately and permanently impacted, and Megan and the Meier family have been embedded in his heart, soul and mind ever since.

Paul James: "In truth, although I had wanted to connect with Tina for many years, I was extremely nervous about making the call. While developing the script and then producing the film, I never took the sensitivity of the Meier story lightly, and remained continuously conscious of the fact I was drawing from an extremely sorrowful tragedy involving real people. And I have carried Megan, Tina and the Meier family in my heart from the moment I began the project. Connecting with Tina has been one of the most emotional and inspirational experiences of my life. She is an incredible woman who I both admire and adore, and I am positive our relationship and bond will continue to grow in depth and strength. Thank you Tina for everything! You are absolutely amazing."

In addition to his personal experiences related to the overall subject matter, Paul's stance on bullying, cyber-bullying and suicide has been directly impacted and enhanced by the Meier family story. And as a compassionate father of 2 young daughters and an advocate for the notion of 'one love', he is passionate about reducing and eliminating hatred and abuse.
