What Our Film Is About

Our film features master thief Harold carrying out his next big score; to steal the legendary 'Golden Dragon' painting. However, his plans are disrupted when his ex-wife dumps his estranged delinquent son Ralph on his doorstep. Forced to bring him along on the job, will Harold be able to successfully steal the painting and keep his criminal lifestyle concealed from his teenage son...? 

Who Are We?

We are final year students studying Film & Television Production at the University of Hertfordshire. Our production group for this film consists of 9 dedicated crew members each with their own specialised skillsets that they bring to the project.

The Crew.

This project means the world to us as it will be our final university production before settling into the industry. We want to achieve our dream of making the best film we can and we need your help to bring it to fruition. Donations of any size would be greatly appreciated, we look forward to sharing what you helped make possible by April 2025.

 

Our Goals & What You Will Get Out of It

We aspire to reach a goal of £2,500 through your generous donations.

With this money our aims are to optimise our story-telling abilities through:

  • The use of high quality props
  • Securing the perfect filming locations
  • Hiring talented actors who can encapsulate the soul and breathe life into our characters
  • Logistics; catering, travel costs, booking fees, final screening deposit

With our ascending donation tiers of each amount we assure you that you will get more than just the final film as a reward from the project. If we do not reach our budget goal rest assured your money will not go to waste, as every penny donated will go towards helping improve the quality of our finished production. 

 

Risks & Challenges

Casting and location; as important as they are in filmmaking, have the hurdles of unexpected changes from actors getting sick to something as simple as poor weather conditions. Despite this challenge, our producers will be working around the clock to ensure that our film has everything it needs for the days of shooting. This will be executed through ensuring we have back-up locations and times to reschedule in case of these emergencies.
