‘The Collector’ is a short story by American author Jonathan Lethem, which I have attained the rights to via Lethem’s ambitious Promiscuous Materials Project. I have adapted the short into a 15 minute script.
The script deals with the titular Collector, viewed at three different ages in his life, as he struggles with his obsessive need to build collections out of things, slowly realising that while they provide a focus and an escape from real life, they should not become more important than life itself.
This is currently a self-funded project, with a small crew working on expenses only. We have had a skilled storyboard artist create the entire film in drawn form, so we could work out what worked and what did not. We are currently scouting for locations, and will hopefully be looking for a hard working crew and a talented cast once we have more details finalised, with an aim to have the short film shot and editing before the year is out.
We’re looking for some extra funding so that we can avoid cutting corners and make an amazing short film that is both enjoyable and comments on the materialistic world that we live in.
Thank you for reading.
