Professional Motion Picture Production and Distribution NEWS

Based on real experiences, director Steven Sprung and star Michael Bershad co-wrote the film as their first feature. Set in a seedy Hollywood limousine dispatch office on the night of a big movie premiere, Steven Sprung’s Dispatch, from a script by Sprung and star Michael Bershad, depicts one night in the life of Nick, an overnight dispatcher with everything on the line.

(Los Angeles, CA) Based on star Bershad’s personal experience, Dispatch finds Nick, a fallen Hollywood success, battling celebrities, publicists, and producers as he dispatches his chauffeurs to the big premiere. It soon becomes one of the most devastating nights of his life when, after being served with divorce papers, Nick makes decisions which place him in the greatest of personal and professional jeopardy.

Financed and produced independently, Sprung and Bershad, who met while chauffeuring, spent two years writing the screenplay before principal photography commenced in the spring of 2009 in downtown Los Angeles. Sprung, an Emmy® nominated film and television editor (“Entourage,” “Community,” “Arrested Development”) then edited Dispatch himself.

Sprung, Bershad, and their entire team anticipate big buzz and major distribution for Dispatch after its July completion. They will enter festivals, hold screenings and meet eagerly with any and all interested press throughout 2010.
