We are raising funds to support the making of a short, coming-of-age dramedy about how something so small can provide a little perspective.

By supporting Finches further, you'll be part of ensuring the film is distributed to as much local and national film festivals around the UK, as well as playing an active part in securing additional post-production crew like Composers and Colour Graders.
When two best friends are taking a casual walk and one of them crushes a tiny finch underfoot, the weight of guilt sends him spiralling into a confrontation with his own decision-making in life.
A short, coming-of-age dramedy about Jeremy and Adam, two friends on a casual stroll, lost in conversation until an unnoticed step changes everything.
Jeremy, whilst wrecked with guilt and reflection after stepping on a tiny bird, Adam insists it was already dead. Plunged into self-doubt, guilt, and regret, Jeremy fixates on the idea that he could have avoided it but didn't.
The question of responsibility then takes a surreal turn.
Coming-of-age dramedy with an expertimental 2D-illustrated element (similar in illustration to the short film, IRIS)
We are a production team consisting entirely of ambitious just as motivated students, wanting to shed light on societal issues within this ever-changing landscape.
For a simple enough premise, we cannot compromise on quality and ambition, which is where you come in - yes, you!
Finches, with enough funding, will allow us to not only incorporate our intended 2D element in the final film but also offer aid in securing location, covering production and post-production costs, and of course, getting the film to wider audiences: festivals.
Whether you have only £1, £10, or £100, any donation is greatly appreciated and guaranteed to aid production. Whether it's providing money for tape, batteries, or even feeding cast and crew, your donation will have a direct impact on making our vision a reality!
Nothing is too little, even if it is finch-sized (mind the pun!)
Apart from the wonderful feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself (and a film at that!), we have a wide selection of rewards to choose from as a thank you for supporting us to make our film a reality.
From a credit on the final film, digital access to the film before anyone else to receiving an Executive Producer credit and the opportunity for a day on-set!
