OUR PROJECT
A summary of THE FILM
Catharsis is the story of a young man who finds himself thrown into the middle of a conflict between a local gang and a hitman out for revenge... but things don't quite play out the way the fearsome Gang Leader predicts. While it is an action/thriller short film that will include fights and guns galore, the central theme of the film is how revenge can consume a person. It questions whether or not we should forgive people for their actions, or allow the catharsis within ourselves to evolve into something more. What impact would that have on those around you?
Pre-production of the project is well underway, with casting and crew booking complete, locations being finalised, and rehearsals about to begin.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT
The idea of the film has been in the director's head for a long while now, so here we are finally bringing it to life. While one of the main reasons behind doing so is to create a film that deeply questions a person's morals, we wish to create a platform for many new names and faces to have the spotlight shining on them - whether that be in front of the camera, or behind. We will treat everyone equally and make sure everybody benefits greatly from the project - those behind the camera are just as vital as those in front of it.
By donating, you will be able to help bring this project to life. You will create jobs for people who want to get their foot in the doorstep of the film industry - people that may otherwise go unrecognised. Who knows what the cast and crew may go on to do after this?
HOW WILL THE MONEY BE DISTRIBUTED?
Hitting our target would allow us to distribute the funding the way we imagine. With our pre-production already well underway, it can give everyone behind the scenes and in front of the camera the best opportunity to excel in their field. With that in mind, this is how we will distribute the money we raise:
- Hair & Makeup: £300
- Costume: £300
- Catering: £150
- Venue Hire: £300
- Transport: £300
- Props: £300
- Marketing: £300
- BTS Requirements*: £250
- Lighting: £200
- Film Festival Attendance: £1,000
- Post-Production: £100
Total = £3,500
*e.g. radios, hi-vis jackets, pop-up tents.
