One Year Later - Funded!


ONE YEAR LATER - FUNDED!

Thank you to everybody who backed our project! We reached 103% of our target, ensuring we can pay our cast and crew for their involvement, as well as securing locations, props and costumes.

Filmmaking isn't a cheap profession and we are using our experience and skills to shoot our short film over 2 days in April. Once it's completed we will edit the film and take it to as many film festivals as possible, hopefully gaining exposure for our cast and our crew, with the intention of opening more doors and opportunities for us all to further our careers. 

It also proves that, if done right, crowdfunding can help you make your project. While the £2060 we raised might not seem like much for a film, it is a lot to us, and means we can pay our team SOMETHING for their time over the weekend.

This is the first time I've been in a position where I can do this properly and I hope it's not the last.

I am very excited about making the short, it's my most personal script so far and I hope I can do it justice. We've got such a brilliant cast and superb crew and I know we will do our best to make it special.

You can follow the film's progress on Twitter by following us at https://twitter.com/OneYearLater1

News of our appearances at film festivals will be made here and on Twitter.

Now we move on to locking down our last few locations after confirming The Libertine, The Tall Ship and Skin in Glasgow for our first meeting scene, the proposal and the hospital waiting room. Props are also being secured for the short and costumes are next! 

We will be filming a behind the scenes look at how we make the film and it will be available on a special features DVD to all of our backers who purchased it.

Wish us luck!
