Your support makes a difference
A psychological thriller about an aspiring actress whose desire to be seen turns dangerous when someone starts watching her.
Why This Story
We live in a culture built on visibility.
We document everything.
We measure worth in views.
We chase recognition.
YOUR EYES asks a simple but unsettling question:
What happens when someone is watching for the wrong reasons?
The film explores:
• The psychology of validation
• The vulnerability of performers
• The blurred line between admiration and control
It is intimate. It is tense. And it feels uncomfortably plausible.
Why Now
Since 2004, The Fan Carpet has supported independent film — covering premieres, interviewing filmmakers and championing emerging talent.
Now, we are stepping into original production with The Fan Carpet: Slate.
YOUR EYES marks our first narrative short film: a carefully designed, festival-focused project reflecting the kinds of stories we believe deserve to be told.
The film will also feature all-new original music and score from composer Corinna Jane Crabtree, whose credits include Hyde: The Untold Story, The Magical Toy Shop and releases including The Train, Echoes of My Mind, Give Me a Sign and Shockwaves.
This campaign allows us to take the next step — from supporting independent filmmakers to becoming filmmakers ourselves.
How We’ll Use the £12,500
This is Phase 3 of our campaign, building on the work already undertaken to develop YOUR EYES and bring the project towards production.
Your support will allow us to:
• Pay cast and crew fairly
• Secure London filming locations
• Hire professional camera, lighting and sound equipment
• Deliver high-quality post-production, including editing, sound design and colour grading
• Submit the completed film to major film festivals
Every pound goes towards putting quality on screen.
This is a lean, focused production with a realistic budget designed around making the strongest 15-minute psychological thriller we can.
Be Part of It
If this story resonates with you, we invite you to back the project and help bring YOUR EYES to life.
Whether you support the campaign directly or help us spread the word, you become part of the journey from script to screen.
Some attention is deadly.
