Special Features:
  • Commentary features co-writer/director John Huckert.
  • "Water Under the Bridge" (15:55, HD) discusses "The Passage" with co-writer Mary Maruca, who, in the 1970s, was working at a college where Huckert was a student. The senior requested help with his writing, giving Maruca an opportunity to expand her professional horizons, soon collaborating on the material as it experienced a seven-year-long gestation period. Maruca enjoyed a movie education courtesy of Huckert, and she praises the director for his patience and tenacity, working himself to the bone in pursuit of his first feature film. Songwriting challenges and Maruca's deleted appearance in the picture (much to her relief) are also discussed.
  • "Passing Time" (22:31, HD) sits down with cinematographer Richard Chisholm, who recounts his initial steps toward a future in filmmaking. Anecdotes are shared about the making of "The Passage," along with a full understanding of the shoot's numerous challenges and setbacks. Chisholm closes with curiosity concerning the feature's future reception now that it's available to the public again.
  • Still Gallery (2:00) collects newspaper articles and reviews, premiere art, and provides a production timeline for "The Passing," which is a big help when trying to understand the many iterations of the feature and appreciate Huckert's incredible bad luck while trying to make the movie.
  • Shorts (HD) include "The Water That is Passed" (27:50, 1976), "Quack" (24:21, 1976), "Einmal" (9:06, 1979), and "Ernie & Rose" (28:48, 1982).
