Aim
5IVE DAYS an explosive World War Two drama action. That will make you feel you was on the front line.

What We Need & What You Get:
We believe in independent filmmaking to the point were funding projects ourselves and with the help of generous fans, family and friends. We're launching this campaign to reach our goals to produce this film while bringing together a community, an audience, that wants to become apart of bringing this film to life.
5IVE DAYS needs the help of refreshments, Armourer, locations, filming equipment, props, special effects, historic vehicles, cast & crew. The project third part of filming is on a bigger scale than the first & second block, which we’ve already filmed. Your contributions will help bring fantastic value to scenes within our special effects department, locations and historic vehicles. This is where our budget is focused on to add production value.
Our special effects crew can produce bigger explosions on screen and make it more realistic than using CGI. Locations that have plenty of space outdoors for our historic vehicles to maneuver which also adds realism to the scenes and again not using CGI. But most importantly we need our cast and crew fuelled with refreshments.
Costumes for a historic period can be expensive to hire or even purchase. Again with your contributions our cast can be kitted out with the correct uniforms. Also historic items/props can be hired to place in scenes for an authentic look.
5IVE DAYS also needs a section 5 Armourer https://www.hireandfire.co.uk/ this is needed on set for blank firing weapons also mounted vehicle weapons. The safety of our cast using firearms is very important.
Some of our camera angles and camera equipment will need the help of a professional drone pilot. This will bring nice smooth cinematic movement to scenes and add production value. There is also a 150m cable cam tracking shot which involves moving military vehicles.
Our cast and crew of 30, professional drivers, drone operator and the above for production will cost around £2500. The first block of filming was self funded with cast and crew devoting their time, passion and efforts for free. We all believe this project has great potential and tells a story of survival on the front line of war. The sacrifices made and loss of life for our freedom today.
