BRIDGE OF FIRE is the story of two potters, one an American, Malcolm Wright from Marlboro, Vermont, the other Japanese, Takashi Nakazato, from Karatsu, who originally met as students then lost touch with each other for over 20 years. In the interim both achieved wide recognition in their own countries. When they met again they decided to work together in each other's studios to produce pottery for joint exhibitions in the U.S and Japan. BRIDGE OF FIRE documents their shared vision and the year of their unique collaboration in Vermont and Karatsu, Japan.

The Vermont International Film Festival is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the community and bring the world to Vermont through film.
Launched in 2014 by a group of filmmakers, archivists and concerned members of the public who wished to ensure the survival of artists’ films in Vermont, VAMP officially became a program of VTIFF in May 2015. The VAMP committee has broadened the initial concept to include all types of films and videos made by VT filmmakers or shot in Vermont.
