Ugliness – Short Film shot in North Evia
Summary:
Ugliness is a short film that tells the story of 3 young women as they travel to a remote vacation home, trying to escape their past. But in doing so, they resort to acts that might have disastrous consequences for them and for others. As the story unfolds, their friendship will be tested and secrets will come to light. We want to escape the superficial perception of beauty and ugliness in people and in places and show their true colours.
To that end, shooting will take place entirely in North Evia, a place we cherish but is currently in desperate need of our support, due to the devastation left behind by the by wildfires in the summer of 2021, that burned away more than 500.000 acres of woodland, including an enormous swath of forest on the island.
Watching the film, you will not only witness the magnitude of the destruction, but also the beauty that still resonates in the area.
You wont see ugliness in the landscape, but you may spot it in people. Because ugliness cannot always be seen. It might live inside of us. It might be us.
What we need:
Your financial support is essential for the supply of the equipment, the transport expenses and for meeting the needs of the crew and other various expenses. We have the will, the passion, the longing and the ideas to create a film that meets our expectations, but we can not cover the production cost.
We have estimated that the ideal total budget would be 4200€ to cover all our production needs.
Our first priority is to be able to cover crew expenses and transportation costs. So, the first available funds, even if we don't reach our funding goal, will be used for transporting multiple people and vehicles from / to the shooting location, for several weekends and providing accommodation and catering.
After covering these essential needs, we will allocate funds for Post Production and Prop / Costume improvement as well as marketing.
Finally, if we reach our goal, we could also improve our filming equipment, to achieve the best visual and audio experience for our audience.
