Pre-Production: Week 1

We've had our first week of pre-production and I have to say how pleased I am. I thought it would be slow going, but it's all hit with a bang. I've emails from cast, crew, casting directors, locations, press enquiries, distribution companies and we got our first written article in the Yorkshire Evening Post. A lot of these things I'd not even considered, well not considered them this early on. It's eye opening though. I hope we can carry this momentum into next week.


Funding was always going to be tough. We've got the ball rolling. I can't thank the people that have contributed enough. If you would like to make a contribution click here. I've been looking around my house for things to sell to help raise some more money. If you have an idea please get in contact.


A week ago this was a tiny little project that I didn't think anybody would be bothered about and now a week later and it's turned into something much bigger and I couldn't be more happy.

Funding

Hello.
Yesterday we launched the IndieGoGo funding page. Crowd funding is always very difficult, these days (like myself) people don't have a great deal of spare cash. If you do, you're not wanting to give it away. Crowd funding can go two ways, you either try finding a few large contributors or hundreds of small contributors. It's not an easy task. 


IndieGoGo works on a 'perks' scheme. Contributors can receive a 'perk' based on how much they contribute. It's not like you're not getting anything for your money. Most of the 'perks' are 'thank you's', but it's nice to be thanked and a part of something.


Other than setting up the funding we have been throwing emails about. Now we wait and see what comes back. We have a really good draft script and we don't want to start editing it until we know where we stand with other areas. See what we need to change or add.


It's all very exciting.
