WHY AM I MAKING THIS FILM?

I’m a writer at heart but enjoy directing a central vision for a film. I come from a village in Fiji, and I wanted to sprinkle some of my lived experiences in my final vision for the film.

Observing insular communities both here in Australia and Fiji gave me inspiration for the main character, namely The Antagonist, as he clings to old beliefs and customs and fails to break free from age-old bonds.

I wanted to blur the line between reality and hallucination with this story to emphasise the confusion our Protagonist feels.

I aim to use my diverse perspectives in conjunction with a new mode of storytelling to really bring our characters to life.

STORY

A story of generational trauma and guilt is explored through nuance and subtext. How can we forgive those who have hurt us? More importantly, how can we forgive ourselves?

I wanted to blur the line between reality and hallucination with this script. She can’t tell if the ghost of her father is really there or if her mind and her childhood home is playing tricks on her. I wanted to convey a lot more information through subtext with the limited use of dialogue.

WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?

We already have nearly all the required camera gear, lights and editing equipment so know that your contribution is primarily going toward paying the cast a fair rate, necessary costs of production like food and location fees, and toward fun stuff like fake prop guns, knives, breakaway glass, fake blood, costumes and more.  

Every prop, actor and location will be there because of you and your generosity.

WHY USE INDIEGOGO?

Indiegogo is a new way to grow community support and participation in creative endeavours, powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method. Personally, I want to use it to present a project I'm enthusiastic about so I can do something I love. And in return, I want to give back by making an entertaining film that you can enjoy in the comfort of your living room with a big bowl of popcorn.

CAN WE EXCEED OUR GOAL?

Yes, we can. Our target is the bare minimum we need to make this picture. Any amount over that will afford us the opportunity to expand our shooting schedule so we can take more time in crafting a professional looking and sounding motion picture.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP

We understand that not everybody is able to support the film monetarily. Here are some other ways you can help:
