There’s plenty about this movie I cringe at (we made it straight out of high school), but I promise I didn’t George Lucas this and re-edit anything. Maybe I should have... I know the accents are bad, the sets are low-budget, and the acting is sub-par with myself and some others. Did you know that all of the officer crew cast were school teachers of mine that I recruited for the day? I think they did pretty well, and it was awesome that they were willing to help! But this is story that needs to be told, and that’s why I’m keeping it up. The Last Signals is the story of the sinking of the RMS Titanic from the perspective of its Marconi Telegraph Operators. Harold Bride, the Junior Operator, is the focus of the film. John Phillips is the Chief Operator. This film was put together attempting to be the most historically accurate representation of the sinking of the Titanic. The sets were painstakingly made to represent the real Titanic’s Marconi room using several sources- ship blueprints, photographic evidence, and first hand accounts. The story was pieced together and recreated to be exactly as the real story was- and in many places the scene unfolds pretty much word-for-word as it did on the real Titanic. Over two years in the making, this film is only the shortened version of the feature film (which God willing will never see the light of day). The feature film depicts more scenes aboard the Titanic- specifically Father Frank Browne’s photography (the only known photo of the room), the ice warnings (which were almost entirely cut from this version), and more information about their personal backgrounds. In addition to showing more of the Titanic story, it also depicts more aboard the Carpathia, and large segments of the story take place in New York City during the weeks of the US Senatorial Investigations, where not only do we see the world’s reaction to the sinking, but we also see Harold Bride’s recovery from the disaster. Written, Directed, and Produced by Thomas Lynskey Harold Bride played by Jake Swing Original Soundtrack by Joseph Falabella
