Hello Again is a drama about Owen, after a sleepless night from his Mothers funeral the day before, he decides to avoid his father and visit her grave. Through a misunderstanding he meets Maura, who's visiting her recently deceased Father’s grave. Together they try to find a way to connect with the loved ones they’ve lost.
Hello! I'm Tom and I'm a filmmaker from London . Thank you for checking out my new film 'Hello, Again.' I've always loved Stories and this led me to study film at university and start my company (Story Culture.)
On the 17th August 2012 unfortunately my mum passed away. She had rheumatoid-arthritis for my whole life which led her to slowly deteriorate over a long time. My mum even though was sick for a long time, always found a positive in everything and she always found something to be thankful for. She was very supportive of me and wanting to make films and would frequently tell me the films she would hope I would make.
When she died I was obviously devastated but I knew my mum would want me to continue on and try to live the best life I could, as well a pursue my dreams of being a filmmaker. This is something I have tried to do and have since made numerous music videos as well as two short films, one of them being Unspoken which won the 48filmproject.com (

Just after she died, as I was going through the all the emotions I would frequently end up at the cemetery as I didn't really know what else to do, and when I was there I was unsure of what I was meant to do. One visit I ended up walking around and looking at the grave's around where my mum was buried, I then imagine how interesting it would be if two people met in a cemetery which led me to come up with the idea behind 'Hello, Again'.
This film is inspired by the events I went through myself and is going to be a dedication to the memory of my Mum.
What We Need
The main reason that we are looking to raise money, is to be able to pay the amazing people we have in our crew working on our film as well as keeping them happy by feeding them. The rest of the money is for costume/set design and to rent a few bits of equipment.
My production company Story Culture is funding the rental of the camera we are using (Arri ALEXA) and all the post production needed for the film.
