Nosce Te Ipsum- Know Thy Self
The film
Nosce te ipsum is set in a world where everyone has a narrator. But when you can hear the innermost thoughts of other people, things get complicated fast! Nosce te ipsum takes a look at themes such as social isolation, fate, and finding your place in the world.
- We're a pack of aspiring filmmakers looking to make a unique and humorous take on a coming of age film! (Check out the gallery for some past work!)

What We Need & What You Get
Are you paying attention? Here we go!
- This is a super thrifty shoot, so we need your help to get the things we can't beg, borrow, or 'borrow', and actually have to purchase. This includes Working With Children Checks ($210), catering ($50), costuming ($100), and props($50).

- The main character of our film, communicates through her notebook, and if you contribute $50+, you can too! Our handmade notebooks will feature the film logo and a stylish and customizable brown paper cover. In it for a copy of the film? We have you covered, with a digital download for $25+ contributors, and dvd copy for $75+. Really, really want to know what your narrator would be? The one off perk for $400 will feature a skype session with the writer, and custom 'narrator introduction'!
- Should we fail to meet our goal, we'll do our best to cover the costs of the film ourselves, but may have to settle for make shift costumes and questionable food... Not exactly a favourable situation!
The Message
Short films have power, and this coming of age film will knock your teeth out. Wait. Socks off, it'll knock your socks off.
- We've all felt isolated at some point in our lives, and while it may not have been as obvious as a mismatched narrator, this film will touch on this in a way that's both sensitive and light hearted.
- Our previous works are displayed below, we're not total newbies!
- This is a real film, that's really going to rock, and your help will make sure it's awesome!
Stretch Goals!
We have a small budget, but big dreams!
- $1,000- We'll start a new perk for signed copies of the script!
- $1,500- We'll release a bonus scene to all backers! In addition, we'll make a thank you video for all backers!
- $2,500- We'll have the budget to get some awesome music, and everyone's invited! A full soundtrack of the film will be uploaded and available for download!
- Anything above this will be donated to the Melbourne City Mission; an organisation which seeks to aid people in Victoria in trying circumstances. http://www.melbournecitymission.org.au/
