Why are we making this film?

We are a group of young filmmakers in our graduation year of film school in the UK. The graduation film unit is our opportunity to present the skills we have acquired, over the last two years. We want to challenge our abilities as filmmakers and produce a film of professional standard that we can use to advance our film careers and potentially give us good exposure in the industry.

The film explores a possible outcome of the current worldwide, political and economical position. As a group of young film makers, we want to make films that connect people to the world we live in. 

We hope to encourage people to look beyond what we are told, to investigate and gain an interest in what ever the heck it is that's going on in this current climate! 

And because we just love making movies!

A little bit more about the crew

We are a group of young filmakers studying, Film Production at Farnham UCA, a Creative Arts university in Surrey.

We began the course in 2010,  since then we have completed projects using a range of equipment, from a Steenbeck to the latest Avid editing suite, Bolex cameras to Arri Super 16mm cameras! We have also learnt a lot about ourselves along the way and a lot about the film making process. 

At the moment, we are working towards our graduation films, our personal portfolio projects, our professional futures unit and our dissertation! 

As a team and crew, we are all putting a tremendous amount of time and passion into our graduation project. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to demonstrate the skills we have developed during our time at Farnham UCA. We aim to produce a film that reaches a professional standard.

What will we be using the donations for?

As a team we are all putting an equal amount into the production. However as students on miniumum wage jobs and part time hours, we can't fund the project by ourselves! 

We need your help, to make this production the best it can be! We hope our passion about this project and our collaborated talents, will demonstrate to the industry what we can achieve as a group of young film makers!

The £2100 will help us towards:

Van hire: The total cost of a van for the 12 day shoot, plus four extra days comes to a total of £600. The van will enable us to take all of our kit to the filming locations and to a furniture warehouse in Manchester, to pick up all the furniture for the shoot! 

Furniture: We have arranged to hire furniture from a furniture warehouse in Manchester. The owner has been very kind in letting us use any furniture we need for no cost at all, on the basis that the company will be credited in the film! The cost of fuel for the van will be approximatly £200 for two trips to Manchester, much cheaper than hiring the furniture else where!

Kit: We are going to shoot with the Red One, using two sets of prime lenses, one lensbaby set and all the necassary extras for the Red One. Plus Arri Lighting kits. The total for the hire of the kit is £1300

Total: £2100

Thank you for taking the time to view our pledge!
