Short Summary
"The Travel
Agent" is a story about a travel agent who has never travelled himself.
His name is Carl and he is stuck in life. But when he meets the bubbly and
spontaneous Emma he is propelled on a journey forcing him to break free from
his comfort zone. Emma makes him see how the thing he needed the most was right in front of him all along.
Hello and welcome to our Indiegogo Campaign!
We are all students from The European Film College (http://www.europeanfilmcollege.com), which is an international film school located in Ebeltoft, Denmark. In less then three weeks we are shooting our graduation film, but we need your support to make it happen!
Directors Statement
Jonathan Gelvan: "In 2013 I met a travel agent in Kathmandu, Nepal. He did a
great job selling travels to people but he was unhappy. We quickly became friends and I
learned that he was stuck in his life. Somewhere along the line, he had settled.
My biggest fear is waking up one day, realizing that I’ve lost my happiness somewhere along
the way, settling with life and getting stuck in routine. I’ve later learned that this is a
universal fear that many around me carry deep inside. This evolved into the idea for ‘The Travel Agent’.
I wish to tell an intimate yet humoristic story about an universal fear. I seek to create fun and loving characters and attack this
fear from the perspective of a dramatic rom-com. Throughout the story I want you to believe that love can push us and, ultimately, evoke change."
Where your money will go
Decoration
We need your support to build Carl's office! Here you can see a miniature we made of the office we want to build:
As you can see we need props and furnitures - real size, which we will need your support to get!
Equipment
We also need support to rent a stabilizer and camera lenses, so the film can look really smooth and nice.
Transportation for actors
We have found some amazing actors in Copenhagen, but since our school is all the way over in Jylland we'll need support for their transportation and accommodation while they are with us in Ebeltoft.
