Short Summary
BaNaNa!
Chloe and Trish, work in a corner shop. On a slow day, there are no customers, they are bored, and are wasting the day away.
Meanwhile, In a nearby industrial estate, there sits a factory called “Benji’s Bananas”. Inside the factory, a scientist is attempting to create genetically modified, giant bananas. Unfortunately, this goes wrong, and they turn a bunch of bananas, into a giant mutant banana monster. It breaks out and goes on a rampage.
Back at the shop, Trish is still looking for things to do, and Chloe tells her to mop up. As she goes to get the mop, she finds Ba Na Na, hungry, and ready to fight.
A massive fight breaks out and Chloe knocks Ba Na Na’s head off, which proceeds to explode. Chloe and Trish use this as a good opportunity to sell discounted banana smoothies.
We are promising some gratuitous violence and a lot of yellow Banana guts for your money!
What We Need & What You Get
We are trying to raise $1000 to cover the costumes, sets, and hopefully we will be able to give the actors something for their trouble besides Pizza and applause.
We have different levels of rewards depending on how generous you can be.
$5 will earn our appreciation and a thank you email from the Director.
$10 gets you all of the above, as well as a high-quality digital download of a film poster, which you can download, print out, and hang up wherever you want.
$15 gets you all the above, and a downloadable copy of the final film.
$20 gets you all of the above, and exclusive access to "The Ba Na Na Blog", where you can find updates, and behind-the-scenes images and videos.
$40 gets you all the above, and a name-check in the credits, so you can say to your friends "Hey, stay for the credits... hey look there's my name".
$50 gets you all the above, as well as an exclusive preview copy of the film.
For $100, you can be in the film as an extra, on the 8th of October, we may even get you a banana smoothie if we can afford it.
For anyone richer than that, $500 will get you an executive producer credit at the start of the film.
We will be spending our own money, so any funds we receive will go to re-imbursing out-of-pocket expenses, and any surplus will go to the actors.
The Impact
Help to the world to be a better place by sponsoring young emerging filmmakers and actors to bring some much-needed joy and nonsense into the world.
Risks & Challenges
We are poor film students studying the Diploma of Screen and Media-Film&TV at Swinburne Uni and making our major project, the short comedy-horror film, Ba Na Na!
It's going to be alot of fun but we need your help to make the sets, costumes, and if you are generous, pay the actors a little for their work. Like us, they are poor artists working for a worthy cause.
We are:
Writer / Director: Angus Taylor
