HOW WILL FUNDING BE USED?
Donations towards this project will allow us to fund crucial elements of production, such as:
Cast - We want to ensure we have the best actor to play the role of our astronaut. It is important to us that we pay our actor a fair wage, and that we are able to cover their travel, accommodation & meal expenses.
Production Design - Costume and set dressing will be crucial to creating the world the film is set in. We plan to build a space base inside a filming studio as well as creating an astronaut suit & other necessary props.
Distribution - "Space Race" is an extremely important film to all of us & we want to allocate appropriate funding towards distributing the film through film festivals and offer opportunities to further screenings.
WHERE ARE WE IN PRODUCTION?
Earlier this year, a skeleton crew flew to Iceland with our lead actor, Richard Cawte, to shoot the exterior scenes of the film (a preview of what was shot is shown in the video above & more can be seen on @buddy_house_productions on Instagram). Now it is time to shoot all the interior scenes! The main bulk of our funding is going towards building the interior of a space base in the film studio which we plan to shoot in May.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our project. Any donation is hugely appreciated & we thank everyone who is helping to bring our vision to life. We completely understand that not everybody can donate but it would be greatly appreciated by the whole team if you could share this page!
