We are looking to raise funds for paying a professional cast for a ten minute short film for a 3rd year university project.
The story is loosely based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee and William Blake’s The Angel.
The story revolves around a 19-year-old girl named Annabel, living in a small house in the middle of no-where with her deeply religious mother in the late 1960’s, a few years after the death of her father. The girl has caught the eye of the devil who has fallen desperately in love with her, and wishes for her to join him in hell. The devil peruses his love for Annabel by occupying her dreams and her mind. An uncontrollable connection forms between Annabel and the devil, until she cannot help but to fall in love with him in return. Her love for the devil leads to her being institutionalized. It is here she learns the only way she can truly be with the devil is if she were to go to hell, for which she would have to take her own life as if she were to die any other way she would go to heaven.
I have a fantastic team behind me to help me to make this project become a reality; With cinematographer Luke Evershed, editor Helen Scarlett and producer Lily Woodcock, and with your help I really believe this could be a great piece of work.
Now what we need your help with is raising some funds in order to pay a cast of professional actors and to cover travel and catering expenses on set. This will cost us around £1000
This will be my first time directing something I’ve written myself so this is a pretty big deal for me, and so any help you can provide I will be eternally grateful for.
Thank you.
