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.

What We Need & What You Get

  • We're hoping to raise £500 towards production costs in order to pay travel expenses, feed the talented cast and crew and fund entry into festivals when the film is complete.
  • In return for your generous donations, we're offering some great perks, including the chance to have your name in the credits and the opportunity to check out the finished film before anyone else!
  • As the majority of 'Authentic' is self funded, it will still be made if we don't reach our goal.  Any funds raised here will be used to promote the film through festivals, creating opportunities and exposure for the team.

The Impact

  • We believe that nobody should feel they have to hide who they are.  If this film helps to give even one person the confidence to embrace their authentic self, we will have succeeded in producing something very special.

Risks & Challenges

  • Covid-19 is still a threat in 2021,  All cast and crew have completed up-to-date Screenskills Coronavirus training and are aware of the protocols required to keep everyone safe while filming.  There is a chance that further restrictions and lockdowns may impact filming.  No filming will take place until we are legally allowed to do so and in order to comply with legislation we have made the decision to shoot in Nicola's local area using outdoor locations where reasonably possible.  Full risk assessments will be undertaken by our producer for each location and all cast and crew will be provided with free hand sanitiser and all meals and snacks will be individually wrapped.  
  • Outdoor shoots involve many challenges in terms of logistics.  As we plan to shoot in February there is the chance that the shoot will be affected by inclement weather.  To prepare for this, we will encourage all cast and crew to dress appropriately and we will provide blankets and hot drinks while outdoors.
