Short Summary

Hello everyone, we are a Gold Coast Independent film crew and we have been shooting a feature film and now need your help, to date we have shot more than 95% completed. Essentially we are at the pickups stage and preparing for the edit and post sound.  The feature film was shot on a Sony full frame camera and the 4K acquisition technology is an Odyssey 7Q, utilizing Cinema DNG shooting format. 

We intend to edit the 4k footage on a custom built computer we constructed ourselves. We wanted to demonstrate that this could be achieved without a massive budget. So far it is going just beautifully.

This is a totally independent film and it has so far been funded by ourselves with no backing or assistance. 

Every year Universities in Australia churn out thousands of qualified film makers, that is a fact,  and the  Australia film establishment including the government, has everything is place to stop people from making independent films. 

Does that sound weird to you, well imagine what it must be like to work so hard to earn you degree in Film and TV and then find out you cannot even place an ad in a news paper to raise funds for a short film. 

It is easier to make an Independent film in Russia than it is in Australia. 

What we are hoping to do is show a way in which film makers can make interesting high quality content for under $100,000 and therefore break the system in Australia. 

The sound track to this film is going to be a killer featuring:

Peter Bjärgö - Sweden 

Amber Asylum - USA

Echoes of Yul - Poland 

Your Schizophrenia - Russia

Scythelence - Russia

Music wish list is - Artesia,  Fuck Buttons and Nick Cave.

We can only try.

Maybe with your help we will secure them. 

Ralph Nicolff, Social commentator and Artist donates an art-book values at more than $2000 to be awarded to the first person to contribute $500 to our film fund. 

There is only one of these and its the original.

What We Need & What You Get

This is an honest call for help, I have tried to be as genuine as I can avoiding buzz words and hype. I have send a link to close people I know, many of them couldn't even spare $5! It is hard to make a film with only suggestions. 

We have reached the editing and post sound stages of the production and we now need your help. 

Shooting 4K has been a huge learning curve and we have stretched every piece of technology to the limit.    We did attempt to continue without assistance, but this has proven to be more than difficult. 

Any contribution is helpful and all those who contribute over $100 will find themselves on the credit list.

Also we will set up an online delivery site and all contributors will receive access to be able to stream or download the film once finished and premiered at Cannes.  

The Impact

Since posting this cry for help on Indiegogo, I have had various feedback from friend suggesting I should have opened my campaign selling my cast of known actors etc. It is a fact that tens of thousand of films are made every year with "known" actors, and tens of thousands of them bomb out. But history has shown that interesting stories with unknown cast has a good chance of smashing through the success wall. Seriously, does every film need to have Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman. 

This is an experimental film and although the cast is unknown know now. 

It could be you that gives them a break.

As the producers we are aiming to make some return from the film. It is low and conservative. Think of it like this,  it is a little like building a  house and not making money on it until you sell it.  If we can make this work, then we will share our information with others and hopefully this will create a chain reaction. 

Risks & Challenges

The main risk that the film is not well received by an audience, but with any film it’s always down to the audience.

We have minimized dialogue so that it requires little to no dubbing so it can easily be screened in many countries

We have not plastered any video footage on Indiegogo or any other web site. To give the film a chance of success,  we have chosen to  keep it under wraps until the release at the Cannes film Festival 2016.

We are using every trick we know to give the production the best possible chance of success.
