Lawrence Bridges spent 10 years making a movie about ancient Greek demigods condemned to live in Los Angeles and act as characters from ''The Importance of Being Earnest."

“Lawrence Bridges,has used guerrilla drive-ins to get around traditional distribution networks. [He] decided that the best showcase for this elegy to his hometown would be in the open air, with the cityscape as a living backdrop. So his staff spent a year sneaking onto parking lots and projecting his film against a wall on Saturday nights.“ (Chris Thompson, New York Times)
Lawrence Bridges wrote, directed, edited, and produced the independent feature film “12” starring Alison Elliott. The film, completed in 2003, was in continuous production for over 10 years, making it the longest continuous production in the history of film. Shot on location in both Los Angeles and the Channel Islands National Park, the story revolves around a half-sister and brother who are illegitimate offspring of Zeus. The two find themselves stranded on an island ranch and, in order to save their lives, must find and perform flawlessly a play by Zeus.
