Short Summary

My name is Grant Scullion and I am a student at City of Glasgow College in my 4th year for my honours degree in Television. As part of a team I am working to produce a Gaelic short film that serves as our final project and the culmination of the last 4 years of study.

"Bròn" is a Gaelic drama centered on a fractured relationship between two men haunted by the sins of the past. It's a story of loss, grief and learning to move on.
 

What We Need & What You Get

So many student films are hampered by a lack of equipment and time. With this being our final project, we really want a chance to show what we can do if we have the time and money to do so. By funding this campaign you're giving us that chance.



Pictured above is where we will be shooting. Our plan is to shoot up north in Scotland at a place called Uist. It's a gorgeous and secluded area that fits perfectly both with the visual style we are looking to achieve as well as emphasizing the self isolation of our main character.

Of course, shooting up north will cost money because we have to transport both our cast, crew and kit up there. The journey there will take 8 hours and we need to pay for a ferry to the island. We also need to be able to pay for accommodation as well as food for the crew. The shoot is planned to last for three days as we want to give ourselves time to get the best footage we can rather than just accepting the first decent take we get and rushing on because we're so limited in time. Films that are rushed like that don't allow for creativity or for actors to get comfortable in the roles.



We'll be shooting on a Black Magic Ursa Mini [which we already have access to]. However we need to rent out extra pieces of kit from a local kit store. We've been lucky enough to get discounted prices but even then it's still too expensive for us to pay for alone.





These shots above should give you an idea of both the visual style we aim to achieve as well as our focus on atmosphere and surroundings. We plan to shoot the project in greyscale which will require shooting specifically for it rather than just removing colours in post. Because of this it's imperative that we shoot in Uist as well as rent out the proper equipment to achieve our desired look and feel.

Because the project will be shot in Gaelic there is a great chance that it'll get accepted into Gaelic film festivals and competitions as there is a strong desire in that niche market for content.

Risks & Challenges

It's a film so there are many moving parts and areas that are totally dependent on everything coming together. Missing kit, crew or cast can all throw a wrench in the works last minute. Also weather will be something we need to contend with as this is a largely outdoor shoot up north in Scotland in February. That's also the reason we need to give ourselves space to shoot in case anything goes wrong because if we miss key elements, it'll be very difficult to plan reshoots.
