An Baner (The Flag)
Falmouth, United Kingdom
Aim
Raise funds towards making the short film- The Flag (An Baner).
When the battle ends, the real story begins.
The Flag (An Baner) is a micro short film told in the Cornish language (Kernewek), following a lone knight in the haunting stillness after defeat in battle.
With his comrades slain and their banner fallen in the mud, he begins a journey—not to win the war, but to save what remains.
We’re raising funds to help cover some costs including costumes, props- including the flag, equipment, travel, consumables and the other bits that make up making a short film. Every penny helps.
So, whether you’re passionate about indie cinema, minority languages, or mythic storytelling, we need you to help bring this film to life.
We know times are tough and money is tight, but every pledge, share, word of support brings us one step closer to making this unique film a reality.
Thanks for reading!
Who’s making the film?
The Flag is a short film from Henry Austwick, the man behind Swashbuckling Cornwall. It is a passion project with many people giving their time, skills and expertise for free. The crew combines both professional with experience and newcomers to the filmmaking world. Creating a great melting pot for skills exchange and idea sharing.
Henry’s last film- The Lost Helm, a fairytale story about two peasants who find a knight’s lost helmet is currently on the festival circuit and has already begun to collect laurels.

Risk & Challenges
Short film making is full of risks and even more challenges (some might say it is even harder than slaying a dragon) so whilst all shall be done on this filmmaking quest to make this film happen there is always a chance that we may fall by the wayside and be vanished by the beast that is filmmaking.
