Three years ago I discovered the truth about slavery today. The fastest growing crime in the world, more people than ever enslaved, 150 billion dollars in human trafficking trade... I was shocked and appalled. How could I not have known about this and why does no one else seem to know? That’s when realised something; awareness is vital for change. There’s very little coverage of this horrific global issue but we can change that. This is why I wrote the story Property.

We can create this amazing short film with £10,000. That will cover our cast and crew costs, feeding everyone, locations, props, post-production... everything! Our fantastic producers at LTBLProductions are supplying all the equipment we could ever want and are helping in keeping the costs of the film down.
We’re aiming to produce a short film that will be considered for a BAFTA. That’s right, aiming for the very top. You can only ever achieve as far as reach. We believe we can accomplish this with the strength of the screenplay, the talent of our team, our carefully planned film festival run and most importantly your support.
Achieving this goal would be incredible, so we want to make sure to give back to you! In exchange for your support, we have a wide selection of perks available. We’re eager to involve everyone interested in the film and really make this a collaborative process with you, the contributors! Please leave comments (we’ll reply to every single one) requesting any perks you can think of and we’ll make sure to consider them for the campaign. Any contributions go a huge way! To everyone that shares our campaign on social media and to friends and family, we’re hugely grateful to you too!
We’re all set for how we’re going to use your contributions:

We’re a group of professionals who through working a plethora of jobs together have bonded and become a close net group of friends. I couldn’t imagine a better group of people for Property. Ideas are constantly bouncing back and forth and we’re always improving on each other’s meticulous work. I know I don’t just speak for myself when I say I’m always excited to work with this team!
LTBL Productions (Producers):
With LTBL producing the film, can expect every stage from pre-production to marketing to be extremely efficient, perfectly professional and eloquently executed. Their work is consistently fantastic. They take great care and everything they do; ready to put their heart and soul into this project.
Jon Addison (Writer/Director):
I've been obsessed and in love with film for as long as I can remember. I've worked on a variety of films but this is the first 'bigger' project I'll be directing. It's a huge step, but something I'm incredibly excited and confident about. With my experience and superb team beside me, I know Property can be something amazing and make that all important change in the fight against slavery.
Ed Swales (DOP):
An extraordinary talent, Ed Swales is an integral part of the team. His astounding knowledge and ability, complimented by his artistic flair, will ensure beautiful, unique visuals. The story will be told as much through the lens as it is through the cast.

With tremendous attention to detail and care for his work, Waqar always delivers. Any director can feel at peace knowing they have him covering their sound. Following production, Waqar provides his commitment to great work in post, always establishing an eloquent and enticing soundscape to a project.

Organised, focused and hard working. As a script supervisor, Zena is constantly on it. She keeps projects moving forward; always seamlessly concentrating on the work at hand whilst readying herself for the next step at the same time.

Grace has a majestic artistic talent that will give Property a unique voice and design. Her stunning work will be incredibly important for both the feel of the film and some critical story beats.
