Liquid Bridge is a 2003 Australian film starring Ryan Kwanten.

Production

The film was based around a surfing incident Avalon learned about from his friend Brian Williams. At Mavericks, at Half Moon Bay, a surf location in Northern California, a surfer called Mark Foo drowned. Avalon and Williams decided to make a film around big wave surfing. A script was written by Pim Hendrix.

Liquid Bridge was announced in 1998 as part of a slate of five films from Avalon worth $20 million. Jack Campbell originally signed to play the lead. The film was not made until several years later. Avalon later said the film took 16 drafts over seven years.

After making The Finder Avalon wanted to make it as part of a slate of three films, the others being The Backstreet General and The Pact. The Pact was made first, and did well enough for Liquid Bridge to be financed. It was one of the last films made under 10BA.
