Our Story
Hello! We are a group of students currently studying Film Production. We are planning to create a short film following 'Alex' and his adventure as he strives to break out of his captivity only to find that the only thing holding him captive is his mental state.
With your help, we hope to create a film that is truly spectacular and highlights the issues many face to day in terms of identity and mental health. Your funding will go to a plethora of different departments to ensure that we curate a film that is emotionally powerful and intriguing.
These departments include: costume, location, casting, set dressing, props and much more, Our film relies heavily on visual components making our job much harder and also much more expensive than the average student film however it is all going to a good cause. We also plan to submit our completed films to Film Festivals around the UK and if possible, the world.
Check out our perks where you can donate as little as £5 to gain a Special Thanks credit at the end of our film or as much as £60, granting you a bigger credit of Executive Producer which will be displayed in our credits as well as on our Promotional Material. We have a lot of fun things planned for this project so keep your eyes pealed for updated perks as time goes on.
For note, if we don't reach our entire goal, the money raised will still go into our project and we will work hard to ensure we still make an amazing film for the world to see. If we raise much more money than our goal, we will put it into our film, maximising our impact and success and will donate the access to a Charity of our choosing. If you purchase the Executive Producer perk, you also have a key say in the charity the money goes to.
Your contribution to this project could be the difference between an average film to an award winning film. The crew we have curated as well as the cast we plan to seek out with your help, will ensure that we make a project that redefines identity and takes a deeper dive into the mental and psychological health of our protagonist 'Alex'. Our film could be defined as a mix between Saw & Shutter Island, a thriller, intended to surprise the audience and keep them on their toes. It will build an atmosphere of tension and ultimately resolve, making it a sure success.
Making this project, we are sure to run into obstacles however we are fuelled with a burning passion for film and intend to create a film greater than we've ever created before this point. We do not intend to allow any obstacle/challenge to stop us from achieving our goal and this will be highlighted and depicted to our audience upon release to the public and at film festivals. There are always risks when making a film, especially a student one, but we plan to strive for success. It is our only goal and we hope you can join us for the journey.
If you are in a position that you want to help however cannot afford to donate any money, we'd greatly appreciate if you spread the word of our film and this fundraiser. Tell all your friends and family or even people you see on the street. The more help the better.
We appreciate your help in whatever form that my come in. :)
