Our Story

Two weeks out from rehearsals for the film, our main investor tragically, had a stroke. It meant we shot the film on around 1/4 of the budget. We got it in the can through the amazing generousity of the cast and crew paying a fraction of what the costs actually were.

We deferred many of these costs and have subsequently, almost finished the film through sheer grit and determination. Currently, we're finalizing the sound mix and very soon will have a festival submission version of the film.

CATCH 22:

But before the film can legally be screened, we need to pay off some non-negotiable payments. This is where you lovely and generous people come in!! 

FILM SYNOPSIS  

Riff is a faded rock star. A sex addicted, alcoholic wash up who hasn't written a good song in twenty years. His new outfit, The Sunset Six believes him when he says his 'back catalogue' of new hits is on its way. But it aint. The surprise offer of a record deal awkwardly reveals there are in fact, no songs and as evidence of his appalling behaviour begins to mount, Riff's tenuous grip on leading his new band to fame and fortune begins to unravel.

 

The Impact

By donating to the film, you will assure that we are able to take it to festivals and markets so we can screen it. This will enable us to sell the film and pay back those who have invested their time, creativity and finances into it. Actors, musicians, investors.


What We Need & What You Get

We're initially seeking $28,000. This is all about the music. We owe $20,000 for music royalties. Without paying these fees we cannot screen the film. Simple. As well as that, our wonderful musicians and actors are owed their fees for playing on the soundtrack. That accounts for the rest of the target figure. The music sounds amazing but we had no $ left to pay them for their work.

Please note: The film is now locked off (as of the 22/8/2011) so from now onwards we can no longer thank any new donors in the closing credits as the "perks" promise. We can't change the "perks" once the site goes live, so please forgive us for this. Do know, however, that we will be eternally grateful for your generosity.

 

Legal disclaimer

It needs to be clear that there is no financial benefit by donating to this site. It represents a donation and not an investment. However, the independent film making gods will smile down apon you.
