Help us produce a positive video showing Blackpool in a different perspective to the stereotype that exists today.
Our idea is to make a positive short film about Blackpool that highlights all the positive creativity, beauty and art within the town. Blackpool gets a very raw deal from a lot of media outlets or it just get the stereotypical fairground 'kiss me quick' image when really there is so much more.
We want to highlight that there is many more attractions within the town and a vibrant artistic scene that looks like its continuously going from strength to strength. We have galleries and theatre , festivals and urban art shows, contemporary dance and many more pop up independent attractions that just don't get enough coverage. The fact is we are a seaside town and you know whats here already as it's been here for years but we want to try and expand your view and perhaps your stay here to enjoy much more than you bargained for.
Who are we?
My name is Mark Davis otherwise known as Chinny. I'm from Blackpool and have been a promoter of events here for many years.

Also partnering in this event is Danny Gomez who is a film maker / web designer under the guise of Void Matter, recent winners of National Short Film Awards by The Guardian newspaper.
Why Crowdfund?
..Crowdfunding seems ideal to fund this project, we have people waiting to back us and we also have the general public wanting to do their bit in showing their pride in where we live. All of the money raised will be going solely towards the filming and editing of the film made.
