'Facebook Funeral' is a ten minute short film that I have written and will be directing as a 'calling card' demonstration piece that I believe is going to make the world laugh and lead to me directing my first feature. It is an outrageous little story about a monstrously inappropriate eulogy given at the funeral of a girl who has died in a skydiving accident and the screenplay has already been winning over some serious players in the film industry. For example Samantha Waite, who was production manager on the Oscar winning documentary Man on Wire and produced the Oscar nominated short Wish 143 (and is producing three features as I write) has agreed to produce Facebook Funeral and use her considerable contact list to bring in the best possible technicians and performers. Samantha has already completed a budget and schedule for the project and I am launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to make the film to the highest possible professional standards. My ambitions for the film are to win festival awards and achieve massive viewing figures on line so that I can put together a persuasive case for directing my first feature A Love Like That. Please support m Kickstarter campaign either with hard cash or by sharing and promoting the campaign - I will be eternally grateful. People support Kickstarter type campaigns for all sorts of reasons - but for me its about not just waiting to see what the entertainment industry offers up next but playing an active role in choosing what projects you want to see come to fruition. You also get real rewards and in the case of Facebook Funeral these include limited edition and original artwork, storyboards, scripts and of course the opportunity to see the film before the rest of the world - at screenings or using a Vimeo code that will be sent to you when the film is completed.
