Synopsis & Film Credits
A Span in Time
tells the saga of the 2007
Labor Day weekend Bay Bridge construction project, with the
now-legendary C.C. Myers as the contractor. During a three-day
bridge closure, Myers’ and Caltrans’ teams demolished and removed a
football field-size bridge, rolled in a new pre-constructed
replacement span, and finished the amazingly challenging job eleven
hours ahead of schedule! The film tells the story from the
perspectives of the construction contractor, Caltrans engineers and
designers, and two of the reporters who covered the story. Hilarious
cartoon animation introduces soon-to-be-legendary TV anchor "Max
Tabloid," who reports on the story as it unfolds on the screen.
This half hour special won an Emmy
Award for graphic arts and was produced
and directed by David L. Brown, with animation by Charlie Canfield,
both of whom won Emmy Awards for the "The Bridge So Far," their
previous entertainment/ documentary on the Bay Bridge.
