We are a team of student filmmakers producing a short surrealist drama for our final year dissertation project. The film is called La Chaise ('The Chair') and is a take on social constructions and the role of women in our society. We have worked with a French writer, Ingvild Gillet, on this and will be shooting the film in France.
In order to bring this project to life and up to the standards we are aiming for, we need your support!
In a place where looking is said to be dangerous, a young girl, Bianca, is curious to see what is outside. Her worried mother does everything to keep her from doing so.
Bianca is naive and kind. She is curious about the outside world, thirsty for knowledge. She does not have a spirit of rebellion, she is just innocent. She has not yet assimilated the social constructions of the world in which she lives and therefore questions them.
The Mother is a woman in her forties. She is cold and arrogant. She loves her daughter but believes the best for her is to follow the norm. She does not ask questions herself and is afraid her daughter is ready to question the laws of their world.
Our crew is as follows:
Collectively, we have worked together on a variety of projects and developed a strong, collaborative dynamic.
To make our film happen we would like to raise a minimum of just over £3600. The production costs breakdown as follows:
Thanks to our scriptwriter, Ingvild Gillet, our location is free, meaning that we can focus our efforts raising the funds required for other elements of our budget.
Reaching our goal of £3.6k will enable us to bring our production to life. By achieving this, we can guarantee the delivery of good production design, actors, as well as skilled technicians during post-production. It is crucial for our short film to be set in France and with the money raised, we will be able to get our full crew there.
Achieving our goal will guarantee we can deliver an accomplished final film with high end production values.
If this campaign proves to be really successful and we achieve more than our goal, all other funds will be used for submission to more film festivals around the UK and any other distribution costs that might come in our way.
We are fully committed to putting all of our efforts and skills into this project and we need your help to bring this amazing film to life!
