My name is Ndu Anike, an immigrant that has called London "home" for the last 21 years and counting. I have a PhD in creative writing and taught Drama at Goldsmiths College in London before deciding to make and tell stories on stage, television and film. This is my first film.
My story is important because young women stay in abusive relationships (both physical and emotional) believing that they can't get out. They can.
Contributors will help me bring this edge-of-your-seat thriller about choices and relationships and loyalties and accusations of murder.
As a first time minority film maker, the film's best chance of being made now is through contributions such as this, and my own savings but I know the film will make great returns.
I bought a nearly new Sony PMW F3 cine alta camera because I'm committed to story telling through film. I also bought bought other things like lights and recorders. I have secured the signatures of four VERY good actors (wwww.leavetoremainthemovie.com)
£30,000 will make it possible for me to pay for the locations and props for the movie, fly in two of my actors from outside the UK and put them up in hotels, feed the actors on set, edit the finished movie and get it ready for theatrical release and film festivals.
Every person that contribute to the movie will be named on the films credits. If any provides the bulk or all of the money, they will be named as Producer.
Every amount raised will be influential in making the movie. £500 will feed the cast for one week. £85 will rent and pay insurance on a professional camera jib for a day.
We are all striving to make the world a better place. Good stories, well told, change lives. We have a good story. Your money will help us bring it to the world.
My film celebrates the power of women escaping abusive relationships and promotes London's Black Cinema to the world.
We have already started shooting and contributions will help us finish it well. See wwww.leavetoremainthemovie.com.
We don't just need money. We need a mansion with a swimming pool for three days, a hotel room for two days, office space for one day, two vintage cars for one day and we are flying in two actors. If we can get all of these, we'll be needing less than £20,000 to complete the project.
If you don't have money or props or flight tickets, you may know someone who does. Point them to us.
Be part of this new wave!
