About Me

Together Scott and Craig will bring you an in depth scope into the underbelly of our society. Under the Bridge is a documentary sure to grab your attention and open our viewer's eyes to the often overlooked, ignored, or completely shunned. This is our homeless population.Synopsis: Here on the streets of Austin, we walk and drive by the homeless daily never giving a second look or an afterthought to why they are where they are , or how they got there. Scott Rudolf is leaving behind the comforts of his upper middle class life style to walk in the shoes of a homeless man for one month. He will be dropped off at an undisclosed location where he will have to learn to survive on the streets. In doing so, he hopes to shed light on this growing epidemic, exploiting every raw experience that over 3.5 million and counting continue to deal with right here in the U.S.A.BallN Productions and DonKey Punch Productions will be following along with Scott as he embarks into unknown territitory with just a change of clothes, his diary camera, and $25 bucks. Join us on the ride to find out more about this growing problem in America and the man who chose to live Under the Bridge... Myspace Layout Generator-Layoutgen.com
