Hi,
I'm Kelly Thompson, a paramedic based in the UK. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have found a passion for writing and have successfully pitched to Hollywood producers. As with all productions, funding is required, and these platforms are the most common ways to raise funds.
Behind the Uniform is based on a true story about a paramedic who, through endurance, introspection, and the courage to confront her reality, must find the strength to reclaim her identity, rediscover her love for paramedicine, and ultimately break free from the chains of abuse before it consumes her completely.
The crowdfunding campaign "Behind the Uniform" aims to raise £ 7,500 over a duration of 2 months. The funds will be used for filming, sound, editing, location costs, lighting, actors, props, costumes, and music licensing.
This project highlights the struggles of those in public-facing roles. Any surplus funds will be directed toward scriptwriting for a pilot TV series.
I have received an expression of interest in a TV drama series from Hollywood producer Francesca Lantz, and any surplus funds will be used to collaborate with scriptwriters to develop the series either in Hollywood or the UK.
I am currently collaborating with an experienced freelance UK filmmaker, Josh Westover. Josh is known for his films Poverty in Paradise (2023), Pandemic (2021), and Death on Our Shores (2022). He is an award-winning filmmaker with a strong interest in telling compelling stories and character-driven narratives. He specialises in documentaries, working on his own independent projects and commissions through his production company, Green Panda Productions. Josh also has experience in corporate videography and content creation, along with 13 years of experience in marketing and advertising.
