Garda Francine Keogh (Claire Blennerhassett) investigates the disappearance of local UFO expert Jay P. Dyson (Niall Moore). As she does, things start to happen to the people around her.

Written and directed by Pauric Brennan, The Rosen Bridge is a beautifully photographed almost 15-minute sci-fi short focused more on suspense than on CGI wizardry. This suspense is helped tremendously by the subdued performance of Claire Blennerhassett as Francine, who is tasked with investigating the disappearance of a local UFO expert. Filmed in black & white with a sound design best described as otherworldly, The Rosen Bridge doesn't necessarily explore a lot of new territory but it does tell its story effectively and with a look reminiscent of old school UFO flix.
