ABOUT PINKY
‘Pinky; his destiny is to save the world, he just wants to get laid first’
On the surface, PINKY is a comedy-romance hybrid about a group of young guys trying to lose their virginity.
However, when Pinky discovers he has the power to read the energy of those around him, the plot thickens, exploring the themes of fear, desire, relationships and human sexuality at a deeper metaphysical level.
WHY US?
We are a group of creative and experienced individuals who are passionate about filmmaking and want to create a film that takes people to places never seen nor experienced before on the big screen.
That is why ‘Pinky’ is so important to us; because we want to bring our vision to life for your the audience - but we can’t do that without your help!

WHAT WE NEED:
As with any feature film, there are thousands of pounds worth of costs needed for the film to, not only succeed in the industry, but to even be made possible in the first place.
We already have a part of the budget so far, which we are using to pay for all the costs you can see below:
However, the one thing that we still need help with, are the Visual Effects, which is one of the most important parts of a film like ours.
We have calculated, that we will need at least £5,000 more in order to produce the best possible visual effects for our audience.
WHAT WE CAN GIVE YOU:
In return, have some great perks up for grabs including memorabilia from the film signed by the writer and director of ‘PINKY’, your name in the end credits in the film, an IMDB Credit, or you could even appear in the film yourself! So please get donating today to secure yourself some of these brilliant perks, and many more too!
THE IMPACT:
Our project is valuable not only to us, but to a wider audience too. This is because ‘PINKY’ deals with real, relatable issues such as love and relationships, as well as dealing with deeper themes such as energy and spirituality, which will open the audience’s eyes to both the world, and to themselves.
Between us, we have experience working on dozens of films and therefore have a successful track record of carrying out projects like this, to the highest standard and with the upmost creativity.
That’s how both we, and you, can be assured that our project will be a success for everyone involved!
RISKS & CHALLENGES:
Luckily for you, our project is risk free! As we already have some of our budget, we can therefore assure you that even if we fall a little short of our entire goal we will still make the film and you will still receive your promised perks! So you have nothing to lose by helping us and contributing today!
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP!
And if you can’t contribute today, that’s okay as there as still lots of ways you can help us achieve our goal!
