THE PROJECT
I have written, produced and directed a short film, 'Too Young For Love.
Logline: The idyllic love between two 15-year-olds is put to the test when one of their family permanently moves abroad.
Too Young For Love is a prequel to my feature project United Kingdom Reparations.
Logline: A day old baby found abandoned in a telephone box, becomes a barrister and on learning her forefathers links to slavery, champions a Government petition for reparations.
THE WHY
I have uploaded Too Young For Love to Filmfreeway and now have hundreds of invitations to enter it into festivals all over the world. For the last three years l have been a carer for my Mum who sadly passed away on Friday 3rd May '24. I am filming a documentary which is covering my progress as I raise funds for the feature, United Kingdom Reparations.
MY GOAL
I would like to attend Cannes to meet sales agents, distributors and financiers to get distribution deals for Too Young For Love and funding for United Kingdom Reparations.
I would also like to enter Too Young For Love into as many festivals as possible, nominating not just my film, but cast and key crew for awards.
WHAT WILL I USE FUND FOR?
For each festival and category entry, there is a fee. I need travel and accommodation funds for a two day trip to Cannes.
