The definitive film about the war poet Wilfred Owen
This amount would mean the optimal production for the project. Anything less means we will have to make compromises.
We at Sine Wave Media are making our most ambitious project to date, the award-winning filmmakers behind:
This new project is our most exciting venture yet. We have the screenplay and team to make it happen. But unfortunately it's never as simple as that. With your help, we can finally do justice to a poet whose words changed the way we saw the world forever.
We are asking for a minimum of £5,000 in this campaign, but more money would mean much greater production values. Here is a breakdown:
We are looking forward to this challenge, but we can't do it without your support! Funds from this campaign will go to:
We have researched the subject for the past two years, and have developed a script that we feel needs to be put onto camera.
Wilfred Owen's poetry captured the imagination of a whole world. Our title was taken from his incredible poem "Exposure":
"Tonight, this frost will fasten on this mud and us,
Shrivelling many hands, puckering foreheads crisp.
The burying-party, picks and shovels in shaking grasp,
Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice,
But nothing happens."
His experiences were wideranging. From his "shellshock" treatment at Craiglockhart Hospital where he met his mentor Siegfried Sassoon, to his meeting of the greatest writers in literature and the excruciating final letters to his mother, it is a story that needs to be told.
This film will not just be a historical account but a commentary on today's events.
What happens to the human mind when it is constantly subjected to such terror, and how can we use art to its best
