TIKOLOSHE

"When fragile widower, Ben Thomas accidentally kills a young woman, he has to flee to save his daughter from an evil Entity bent on revenge." 

TIKOLOSHE is based on the African myth of the "Tikoloshe/Tokoloshe", a powerful demon conjured by a Witch Doctor or Sangoma. This legend is very much still alive and active today in many parts of Southern Africa.

We are raising money for TIKOLOSHE, our follow-up film to RAVENOUS (also starring Maya Jean and Noreen Le Motte). 

PREVIOUS FILM SUCCESSES:

RAVENOUS has had great success at International Film Festivals (including winning a Best Actress award for Maya at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival).

RAVENOUS was made for The Stranger With my Face 48hr Horror Film Festival held in Hobart, Tasmania, judged by Jennifer Lynch (filmmaker daughter of David Lynch) and representatives of Screen Tasmania, Wide Angle Tasmania and Monster Pics.

A re-edited version of the film has gone on to screen in several festivals worldwide:

TIKOLOSHE PRE-PRODUCTION

We are now in pre-production for TIKOLOSHE and have an extremely talented crew all of whom have had extensive experience in filmmaking. We have found some of the creepiest locations for our sets and construction/ work is already underway to create practical effects shots.

OUR EXCITING RAFFLE!

We are grateful, as always, for people supporting our films. And to show our appreciation, everyone donating $25 or more will be placed in a draw for winning dinner for two at an exclusive Hobart  restaurant! 

We are always focused on ensuring any money raised is  spent on producing films with high production values. Our budget is tight, but we have a determined, resourceful team that enjoy the creativity of doing SFX on a low-budget! Most of our costs wil go into post production.

We have a highly talented CGI artist on board . A showreel of his work can be found here: http://www.awshub.com/film/film.php Check out his award winning film: 'Sam and Piccolo' !

Achieving our funding goal will allow us to bring together an amazing team and make this exciting Tasmanian Film! Our long term plan is to use this short film to raise money to make a feature of TIKOLOSHE. 

BUDGET

We are not in this to be paid ourselves. It's just enough that we get a chance to make wonderful films that keep audiences coming back for more! 

A large portion of our budget will go towards the Art Department, SFX , Construction, Editing, Colour Grading and Music Score. The rest is budgeted towards Location fees, Public Liability Insurance, Equipment hire and Catering.
