<< Le Patron >>
As a trainee, you didn't like your boss, but what if you became the boss?
Le Patron is a 3 minute black and white, silent short film (yes, we were inspired by The Artist!) produced by Marine Giraud and directed by ZairaBrilhante. It tells the story of a man who has just been promoted and his struggle to deal with his new workload, as well as his solution for it!
Another Night, the last film directed by Zaira, won 2 awards and was selected for 12 international film festivals.
Who we are and how you will be helping us!
We're two very experienced Producers that came together and decided to start our own production company, Blue Owl Pictures. We've been dedicating ourselves for the past few years to help other filmmakers with their projects, however, we have a bag full of ideas and we now would like to develop them.
One of these ideas happened to be perfect for the Reed Competition, however, we only realised it a week ago and with the submission deadline so close (25th March) we need your help to make this happen!
-------------------------------------------
We are lucky enough to have a dedicated cast & crew that are willing to invest their time in this project to help us, however there are still a few expenses we cannot avoid.
- For example,
INSURANCE is a really important part of a production and we don't want to neglect it. However, it is the sort of expense we cannot bargain.
- We have already sourced most of the camera equipment, however, we still need to pay for the LIGHTING GEAR, as well as RENTING A VAN for the length of the shoot to transport it.
- We have been offered potential locations, but we still need to be able to cover the costs of
PROPS and
DRESSING UP the space.
If you support us...
This film will be our first piece in our portfolio as Blue Owl Pictures. Your support will help us proving we can deliver a great piece in a quick turnaround and this will be the best incentive we can have as a recently formed company.
Not to mention that having our film in this competition will help increasing the exposure of Blue Owl Pictures and, of course, if we win, it will help us to finance our next project!
If you decide to ignore this campaign, in very plain simple words, we will be utterly sad.
Other ways you can help:
If you're not able to support us financially, you can still be involved!
- Please, do spread the word! Tell your friends and ask them to tell their friends about our campaign!
- We could always do with a couple more hands! Send us a message if you think you can help us during the shoot or with pre or post-production.
- We are accepting props! Anything that can be used to dress up our main location, an OFFICE!
If you've managed to read until here, you already deserve a big THANK YOU from us!
