Housewarming (Short Film)
A familiar walk unearths an unfamiliar side of Philip.
What's all this about?
We are a Master's film company, shooting our grad film this October 2014! We have developed an exciting story :) The script has received an incredible response from industry professionals; Directors and Executive Producers. It's in pre-production, it needs filming, it needs your support.
What is the film about?
The film follows a night in the life of London based photographer Philip. He finds his career, art and life in turmoil after a failed exhibition. As he walks through the empty streets of London night his senses wander into the darker spaces of his mind. But what lurks around the corner is an instant which will bring both together, redefining our dear Phillip completely.
"It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter." - Alfred Eisenstaedt
What We Need
We have saved £5500 of our own money and need a further £5200 to make this vision a reality. Every £5 donated will be a significant step in bringing Phillip to life.
Money will go towards:
Locations
The Exhibition
We will be hiring a gallery, and exhibiting Philip’s work! The setting for an unexpected encounter with an old mentor
Philip’s Apartment
We will be renting and dressing Philip’s new apartment. He moved in a month ago, but is finding it hard to settle. We will have to purchase the license
to shoot the iconic, urban streets of London. Capturing the essence of England’s Capital at night. Where Philip will venture for some peace of mind.
Cast, Crew & Kit
Often low budget filmmaking is known to cut corners by not supporting cast and crew financially. But we believe supporting freelancers and cast is imperative; we can relate! Therefore, we are making sure we can pay for professional cast members, crew, and at the very least commit to paying expenses.
A large sum of money will also go towards the hiring of professional Kit. We are working to an Industry level standard, using a Red Epic camera and equipment one would expect to find in a dedicated professional film crew.
But don't just give, get! We have an exciting list of perks to give to you; to involve you; and to express our gratitude towards your support.
Be part of the film; be part of something positive. :)

The Impact
We have worked as a solid team for two previous shorts, both which had a strong impact during the Private Screenings at Goldsmiths campus. We want to bring such an impact to BAFTA, (where our premiere is guaranteed to be!), and at festivals worldwide!
Other Ways You Can Help
Money talks, but your support can shout! So please support by making our project heard! They say we are all connected through three friends, so just by selecting 3 individuals who in turn would support through 3 friends, you are able to help our social status and in turn make Philips story a reality.
