OVERVIEW

Please click below to watch the directors intro. 

 

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned, so when Ryan’s infidelity reignites Jackie’s appetite for revenge, things are going to get all kinds of ugly. Particularly when Jackie knows all too well that it can be hard to stop when revenge tastes so sweet... 

Love You To Death is the brainchild of Elizabeth McCafferty. A dark and twisted look into the world of relationships and the trust we put into them. This is a neo-feminist, cannibalistic, tale of love and revenge.  

Elizabeth has been working non stop to assemble a hungry, predominantly female, cast and crew looking to stamp their mark on the film industry.

‘’I want to support as many women in the industry as possible. It’s important we continue to make work and opportunities to lift each other up, so we can help each other climb the ladder in our specialised roles.’’

Contributing to this film will help to break the moulds we have found ourself stuck in within the industry. We are all so determined to make our mark and show the industry what we can achieve, so we can evolve and grow within it. 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

It’s 1998 and Jackie is tired of the same old tragic love stories. She is not prepared to let Ryan leave without paying the price for his infidelity and so embarks on an all too familiar journey of revenge. Excuse after excuse, Jackie has heard them all but when Ryan fails her tests of faithfulness she turns his world inside out...

Fearlessly complex, Jackie submerges the audience in a cannibalistic paradise and asks the question, do those who dare really win?

 

WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU GET

We are looking to raise £11,700 towards this production of Love You To Death. We think it's really important to pay all of our team for their hard work and with the help of your incredible support, we are hoping to get this film up off the ground and reach our target. All of the cast and crew are up and coming emerging talent and it would be an incredible stepping stone for all of us to showcase the very best of our work. 

The teaser trailer was done on zero budget and we are so excited as to how far we can push our film making skills if we had a budget.  

Please have a look at our reward system to see what we can give you as a HUGE THANKS for your generosity. 

If we don't reach our budget, we are still very determined to get this film made! It will just be a whole load trickier to deliver our creative desires. We want to use this film as a stepping stone to pitch it as something much bigger. The more money we get for the film- the more hope we have in making something incredible,  that will hopefully be able to live on as a script and concept idea in the future.

She is very excited to be able to realise some of her ideas and to build a team of as many brilliant women as possible.  

‘’Making a film is a daunting task but I am finding other incredible people who share my desire and passion for film and storytelling that are keeping me going. People who work endlessly to reach their goals are not afraid to put in the hard work and effort that comes with creativity.’’
