Who are we?
This movie has been produced by Sehnsucht films in association with Reel Merit Films. Sehnsucht films is dedicated to bringing a different and original style of independent movie
to the Australian film industry. We feel there is a market for
Australian films which are different or even edgy. We believe that there is still a place for Sci fi with more of an philosophical edge to it. This film, very much
falls into this category with the main character being described by
Stephen Cleary as "The most damaged character I have ever seen"
Reel

Australian independent films produced and to expand the net worth of the
Australian film industry.On a personal note this is my first feature film that I have written and directed with the intention of festival release. The completion of this project would be the culmination of over 18 months of work and would like to see, what I feel is my best piece of writing, come to fruition.
How are we planning on using the funding we receive?
We
have thankfully funded and completed pre-production as well as
production and have the film in the can. What we are searching for is funding to
help us complete this movie. We are sourcing funding for editing as well as the hire of a basic studio so that our composer, Jessmyn
Long, can record the score for our film. With the remainder money being
put towards our marketing plans and festival applications. We plan to raise enough attention for
this film that the potential audience will assist us in gaining our
desired release.

Why is The Green Woman worth investing in?
We here at Sehnsucht films, as well as Reel Merit Films, believe The Green Woman is a truly gritty and unique Sci Fi that explores many interesting themes often neglected in modern Sci Fi. A movie that audiences will be discussing long after movie is done. With a collection of interesting characters and an interesting twist that may assist getting our film to minor cult status. We believe The Green Woman is a powerful movie, with a good script and talented cast. With our lead actor appearing in a recent international theatrical release, we also believe that supporting The Green Woman supports the independent Australian film industry. Which has some incredible work but can use all the support it can get.
What are the risks to contributing to The Green Woman
OK, lets be honest there are always some risks in investing, Thankfully the risks involved in this project are minimal compared to many other film projects as our film has been filmed and is just awaiting post production. Which is what we are seeking. As the film has already been shot there is little chance of it not being completed.
The only major risk to the film is loss of footage. However thanks to a data retention policy that included storage of copies of film on several locations this is no longer an issue. All actors have been signed to a contract and all footage belongs to Sehnsucht films.
