Troll Bridge is an independent short film created by the Australian studio Snowgum Films based on the short story of the same name by Terry Pratchett.

Plot

The plot is the same as the original short story with Cohen the Barbarian making his way to Death Bridge to defeat a Troll in single combat to prove himself, however upon meeting the troll things go rather differently.

Unique to the film there is also a prologue showing Cohen in his younger days fighting in a large scale battle; Terry Pratchett aided by writing additional dialogue for this sequence.

Production History

Troll Bridge was financed through Kickstarter with donated money and production began in 2011. The project later moved to Backerkit during post-production.

In 2016 at Terry Pratchett's memorial service Snowgum Films announced that the film was nearing completion.

After completion the film is expected to tour and be exhibited at professional film circuits, after which it will be released to backers as a downloadable film and on DVD/Blu-ray.

The film premiered at the Australian international film festival Flickerfest on 13th February 2019.

The film will be released in three versions:

  • Theatrical: The finished film and the version that will be shown on tour.
