Welcome to THE BLACK WATCH

A short film about both the bravery of those called to fight fascism and the hopelessness that accompanies war.

We are a team of 4th year filmmakers from Edinburgh Napier University who are looking forward to creating a fantastic and visceral film for you all to enjoy. The pandemic caused our productions to grind to a halt last year, but we're back and raring to go, with more determination than ever!

Plot

The film centres around two young Scottish soldiers from the Royal Highland Regiment Black Watch's 154th Brigade. Separated during the battle to cross the River Rhine, the two soldiers attempt to find their way back to safety. On their journey, they stumble across an injured German soldier, who surrenders to them. The two boys quickly have to decide what to do next - And consider what repercussions helping an enemy may have for them further down the line...

Budget

Our budget is £1,900. Below is a breakdown of exactly where your money is going and how it will help us bring the story to life.

We understand our budget may appear large, but we can assure you that every single penny is being spent on improving both the standard of production and ensuring that the end result is a film of the highest quality possible.

The difference you make

Traveling back in time almost 80 years to the 1940s is no easy task. From costumes, to weapons to locations and props - Everything has to be period accurate to create an authentic and believable world.

A large portion of our budget is going towards this aspect of the production. The more money we raise, the easier it will become for us to really take you, the viewer, back in time and create not just an entertaining film - but an enthralling visual spectacle too!
