Where will the funds go?

We know that people work hard for their money and need very good reasons to part with it.  This is not a venture that intends to be made on the backs of others. We can offer an assurance that the producers of BAD MEDICINE have already made considerable financial investment towards making sure the movie is a quality product of which everyone can be proud. What’s more, we want the movie to hold its own in a very crowded market place.  So what will happen to the money donated to the project? Below is a breakdown of where the total funds will be allocated:

1.  £5, 000 – Cast & Crew Fees  – Many of the talented people working  on this project are doing so because they believe we have a quality script and the experience to make a great looking, truly scary movie.  All are working for below industry rates based on this belief.  However we feel not to reward their work at all is to demean their skills and considerable talents.  As such £5,000 of the budget will pay for the actors, the camera and sound crew, as well as feeding and housing them for a shoot that will go on for a considerable time. 

2.  £20,000 - Visual Make Up Effects – Because BAD MEDCINE plans on using practical creature FX then this will take up a fair chunk of the budget. In this age of CGI practical make up effects are highly specialist but we feel , to remain true to the scope of the project, they are the only way to produce the kind of movie that will leave theatre-goers not only amazed but absolutely terrified.

3.  £10, 000 – Post Production – Once the movie is shot then it will need to be edited and sound mixed. Funds will be used to hire professional facilities so we can make sure the film not only looks good but sounds good too! Funds will also be allocated to format high quality prints so that BAD MEDCINE can be authentically presented in cinemas and assist in their seamless transfer to DVD and Blu-Ray.
