The story of
Peter Pan is a tale that transcends generations - passed on through the hands
of powerful storytellers compelled to share the story of the boy who never grows
up. Written and directed
by rising filmmaker Kellen Moore, East of
Kensington is a new twist on J.M. Barrie’s classic story that takes a dark,
introspective look at the characters we have all come to know and love.
At its core, East of Kensington investigates the harsh consequence of Peter’s
mistakes and uncovers the sinister secrets that survive within the decayed
remnants of the Darling house.

East of Kensington is a film that has been over two years in
the making. As our Senior Thesis,
it is the culmination of our learning experience at Chapman University through
the Dodge College of Film & Media Arts in Orange County, California.
While we are a
student production, we are striving for the highest level of excellence and
professionalism. We have recruited
some of Chapman’s most talented students to create the world of Neverland and
the Darling House.

Some of our original character concept sketches
In addition, we
have reached out to some of the most talented names in the business to help
make this film come to life. Helping to facilitate the production process, Gary
Goetzman, producer and co-founder of Playtone Productions with Tom Hanks, is
acting as our key industry mentor.
Post-production house, Light Iron (The
Muppets Movie, The Girl With The
Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network), which designs and implements innovative
post-production solutions for many feature films and professional color-correction
services to our film, has generously agreed to color correct our film.
East of Kensington is truly a story told from the
heart. Ambitious in nature, our film
combines the spirit and strength of our passionate team with a wonderful
completely new tale about the boy who never grew up.
“Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything
in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.â€
― J.M. Barrie

In order for East of Kensington to be properly realized, the film requires: four custom built sets, the creation of a CGI character and London view, custom designed costumes, as well as all equipment rentals. We have spent the past several months in rigorous pre-production and we are months away from production- your support will lend our production the needed hand to see us through to the end. Your funding will allow our team to obtain the resources and tools we need to get from Neverland to London, and make our film a reality.
In return for your generosity, we have created an assembly of East of Kensington official merchandise and memorabilia to thank you for your support.
