Unsinkable Mac(Trailer) – An Animated Short Inspired By The Skyway Bridge Collapse [Video]

In May of 1980, a cargo ship collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg/Tampa, Florida. Thirty-six people drove over the edge of the crumbled bridge. Thirty-five would die in the swirling waters of the bay. The sole-survivor of the bridge collapse miraculously survived the 150 foot fall and escaped his truck, swimming 40 feet the surface.
In this animated short, I imaginatively and artfully interpret the experience of “Mac”, a Navy, World War Two(D-Day) veteran as he finds himself thrust out of his average life, and back into terror, when his truck plunges 150 feet off of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
