THANK YOU for helping us reach our stretch goal!! With 30 days to go, we're launching our second stretch goal of £1200! The extra £200 will cover our initial festival submission fees for when the film is complete and ready to be screened.
Thanks to our backers we have hit our target! We are blown away by the support you have shown 'Authentic'! With 56 days left, we are now opening an ambitious Stretch Goal of £1000 to help with the following:
- Hire extra lenses and equipment to make the visuals as beautiful as they can be.
- Book our first choice location for the interior scenes.
- Cover Indiegogo fees so we can put a larger amount of funds towards the film.
Trailer:
Our trailer embodies what the film is about - truth, realness and authenticity - it’s honest and a little rough around the edges as we’ve made use of self-tapes as opposed to professionally filmed tapes to eliminate any unnecessary filming during COVID. But it’s got heart and Authenticity and we hope you enjoy our concept before you see the real deal.
