About me and the team.
This is my first film project, I wrote it during covid lockdown. In the past I had been an actor only, but on this project, I have written it, intend to get it funded and shall part direct and act in it.
I shall be bringing a professional team to shoot and edit the film; and will launch a casting campaign online to bring actors in to participate in the film and create value for themselves having starred in a film that will (in my opinion) be a hit.
So What is the Film About you Ask?
It is set in a rural town in the west of Ireland during the 1970s, a train pulls in late one stormy night, and our lead character steps off the train, he has returned home from London after 4 years to bury his brother that died in mysterious circumstances, but when our lead scratches the surface for the truth, all hell breaks loose. I can't ruin the plot any further.
What are the Funds Being Used for?
I have budgeted this film low for a feature film, the funds shall be used to cover the cost of a film crew, editing, actors, bed and breakfast and meals whilst shooting in Ireland and the UK, and travel.
What's Been Done So Far?
I have been out to Ireland on a rekki (looking at locations to shoot) and have identified exactly where I want to shoot the scenes and how. I have written the first draft of the script and the second draft shall soon follow as I am working on it right now. Applications to the council to shoot on locations have been submitted, and after having a call with them, they will allow our request, and are very excited about it.
