So, a little update on my 'film'. The script is done, actors are in contact, locations are being 'scouted' and the Equipment is on its way.
Now I can't pay my actors or crew as its a low budget independent film. But apparently there's this 'law' that they have to be fed and watered . In my day we lived off the air, and nothing else. I would also have to pay for expenses if i needed it, petrol, caterers etc.
Anyway, so there's this website where people can donate money to 'projects'
There's a whole wealth of different projects, including films. There are also incentives to how much you actually donate. For instance, if I were to do start a money raising thingy, it would be a bit like this:
Donate £1 = And you get a 'is that all?' thank you message from me via e-mail
Donate £5 = Your name in the credits + thank you message
Donate £10 = A poster of the film, name in credits + thank you message
Donate £15 = An invite to the wrap party, poster, name in credits + thank you message
Donate £20 = A copy of the film, invite, poster, name in credits + thank you message
and so on...
But is it cheeky? Its not raising any money for any charity. Its just for me and my film. I feel i need to start one soon, but the little angel on my shoulder is doing this to me.
What do you think?
