Additional Project Info

Bridget J. Addison is a filmmaker that brings a unique voice to the unfiltered, real women of the America. Growing up with a single Okie mother misplaced in the burbs of Chicago, three half sisters of Itailan decent, and a twin sister, Bridget's upbring gave her an early advantage of the various voices and diverse perspectives that the everyday woman contributes to the world at large. After finishing High School, Bridget utlitized the many offerings of Chicago's Improvisation Institutions. She completed the Second City Conservatory and participated in classes at Annoyance Theatre and Improv Olypmic. However, being the last to get on the clue bus, she soon realized performing was not her calling and that she was a better spectator than a performer. She then changed her major from Business to Film. and completed a Bachelor of Arts at Columbia College. Many years later, after living the suburban dream of being happilied married with kids, an over sized dog that thinks it's small, and managing her “big girl” job, Bridget decided to go back to her love of storytelling. She completed her first script about her mother's upbring in the dustbowl of Oklahoma shortly after her mother's passing but decided not to circulate it. With her second script, “Unconcious Uncoupling” she got the courage to submit to various festivals and received semi finalist status for the 2018 Cynosure Screenwriting Awards, Quarter-finalist for the 2018 Orb Media Group China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship and was a finalist for the Windy City International Film Festival as well as the Lonely Seal Festival. Her third script, “Cherish”, is currently making the rounds in the festivals and so far has received Semi Finalist staus in both the July 2019 European Cinematography Awards. In addition, “Cherish” was a finalist in October 2019 Polish Film Festival and November 2019 Your Script Produced Screenplay competition. Bridget is currently in the works on another script as well as a short film. Both projects are set to be finalized by the end of 2020.
