To cover some basic costs so we can make films with young people in East Sussex. No-one gets paid and no one has to pay. We need your help!
Shining Knight Productions is an extension of the professional work that we used to do when I was the AST for G&T in East Sussex. We made a lot of films with under 16's and remain absolutely certain that the experience for them was and is extremely valuable.
When I retired, we all realised that the work that we were doing was too important to abandon and so we set up SKP. We have all the film making equipment that we need and a strong range of volunteers. Some film professionals, some education professionals, and many more from the community who have come on board.
We are licensed by East Sussex County Council to work with young people, so they are exempt from individual performance licenses.
We are well supported by our community. Locations come free of charge and we get big discounts on our screenings and premieres, but there are costs which erode our funds and which can't be avoided. For example, basics like insurance cost £500 a year and we like to make sure that the premieres give the kids the best experience that we can.
It's a testament to our work that every single young person involved in our first two films, is back for films three and four.
£2000 a year would cover everything so anything you can give would be really appreciated.
In return you would get your name in to the credits, either as a "thanks" or, if you donate over £99, as an Executive Producer. If you have a company logo, we would include that on our banners and backgrounds so it would be seen.
Our films are entered into Festivals worldwide and we are excited by the successes that we have already achieved.
It would be great to be able to carry on this inspirational project, from which we also get a lot of personal satisfaction so please do consider supporting us.
