Includes ENTIRE ORIGINAL FILM

A re-scoring of the Ambrose Bierce story / French film classic, "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" (which you may remember from a classic episode of The Twilight Zone), using the longest song in modern rock history - Jethro Tull's 43 minute epic "Thick As A Brick".

Whenever I would listen to the album / song "Thick As A Brick" I would always picture some sort of chase sequence, a man running from his death or something. And when I first watched "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" during a film class at Emerson College - I thought it would be awesome with that song behind it.

The video is unchanged, and the song only received some small edits to fit into the shorter time span, and to match one or two audio cues - but most of the similarities between music tempo/lyrics/and verse changes are as coincidental and amazing as those in the Dark Side Of The Moon / Wizard Of Oz trick.

I apologize for the low quality in video, I had to rip the video from a poor source to begin with.

An ideo Production from Jonathan Paula.

  • I never saw this ...

    I never saw this video until now but heard of its story many years ago. I've owned the Jethro Tull album for literally decades. I had a feeling about this poor fellow's ending. They strung people up for a lot less back then. I was looking for some long playing background music while using my rowing machine and had to stop and watch. I had forgotten about it. Thanks for posting it. Back to the workout.

    I saw this short movie on the television when I was about ten years old. The story fascinated me but I never did catch the name of the episode. For 43 years I have wondered about the movie and tonight I finally had a chance to look it up on google. wow. seeing it again is like seeing an old friend. thanks!

    the video with the song, it was just so appropriate. The ending was sad, but that just made it all so much better!

    best 23 minutes and 42 seconds I've ever spent on youtube

    1) That might get removed from YouTube (where I got it from originally)

    2) I don't have it anymore anymore, as my copy was lost when one of my hard drives crashed a few weeks ago. My full-res copies of my own created work were on a separate HDD, so *this* wasn't lost, but the source video was.
