An Evening with Thom Zimny: Celebrating the Career of Bruce Springsteen

In celebration of Bruce Springsteen’s 65th birthday, Friends of The Bruce Springsteen Special Collection and Monmouth University will host an exciting evening of films presented by Thom Zimny celebrating Bruce Springsteen. Thom Zimny has served as Bruce Springsteen’s film/video archivist and collaborator since 2001. During that time, Zimny has produced, directed and/or edited many of Springsteen’s award-winning music-videos, concert films and documentaries, including Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live in New York City, Live in Barcelona, Wings For Wheels - The Making of Born To Run, Hammersmith Odeon London ’75, Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band Live in Dublin, London Calling - Live in Hyde Park, The Promise - The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, music-videos for “Radio Nowhere”, “A Night With The Jersey Devil”, “The Wrestler”, “Dream Baby Dream”, “High Hopes” and the recently released short film Hunter of Invisible Game (co-directed with Springsteen himself.)

For this unique celebratory evening, Zimny plans to “dig deep” into Bruce Springsteen’s personal, official film/video archives, presenting all of his selections with high-quality visuals and sound on the big screen using Pollak Theatre’s state-of-the-art projection system. In the spirit of Bruce’s birthday-themed song “Surprise, Surprise”, Thom Zimny’s entire “setlist” for the evening remains a closely guarded secret. Suffice it to say that if you are a Springsteen fan, you certainly won’t want to miss this very special night.
