IndieGoGo - 36 Hours Left

Hello!

We all wanted to say a huge thank you to each of our generous funders! We still have another 36 hours left before our campaign ends, and only $30 (about £20) to go before we reach our target.

Thanks to all the lovely people who have contributed, we really appreciate all your help so far. The campaign ends Saturday morning and then we start pre-production and filming.

36 Days To Go...

We are pleased to say we have one more donation, so thank you! We only have 36 days of the campaign left and a very long way to go. Making this film means a lot to us, so we really hope we will reach our goal.

If you are able to help us out, either by making a donation or spreading the word about our project, it would be amazing if you could check out our IndieGoGo page! Here's the link again: http://www.indiegogo.com/Repossessing-Tim

Thanks to our funders so far, and check back soon for more updates!

IndieGoGo Campaign

If you have some time and spare 60p we would love it if you could head over to our IndieGoGo campaign page to help us raise money for our film. We're really excited about finally making this film and we're hoping to reach our goal. IndieGoGo is a place where people can set up funding campaigns for their projects, in order to raise money safely and securely. You can read more about it here.

Our goal for this project is to raise $970 (just of £600), which will cover set and costume design, transport costs, and looking after our lovely cast and crew. As this is a student production we won’t be able to pay our crew, so we will need some good grub to keep us going on location. We're also hoping to hire professional actors for a small fee, so this is also included in the budget. The film is going to feature a number of surreal scenes (think Brazil and Micmacs) and we’re going to need enough money to make these ideas a reality.

The closer we get to reaching our target, the better the final film will be, so any contribution, large or small, would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute as little as $1 (about 60p), but if you can't there are still ways you can help us out...

• Like our Facebook page
• Share our project on you blog, Facebook, or Twitter
• Like our campaign page on IndieGogo

Any and every contribution will be warmly rewarded with unique perks and a massive thank you from us! You can make a donation at our campaign page, it will only take a moment and would be very much appreciated by all of us!

Thank you from the whole team!

Welcome to Arcadia

by Ed Hick

Here begins the blog for our short film Repossessing Tim, where we will post updates and production news, as well as our inspirations for the film. I'm Ed, director and co-producer, and I will be your host for this evening. First things first, a little introduction...

The Film
Repossessing Tim is set in the surreal world of Arcadia, where banks employ endless rules and pointless bureaucracy to keep their citizens in order. In this world, citizens have to follow a strict code of conduct, have a steady job and a long-term relationship, to ensure that they are ‘profitable to society’. The film follows the story of Tim, a man who manages to lose his job and his girlfriend in the same week. He is taken away in the dead of night and told that he is going to be kicked out of Arcadia as punishment for not following the rules.

Tim is then transported to a new world, one full of junk and leftovers, a million miles from the austere Arcadia. Here he meets Nelly, who introduces him to an alternative way of living, one that is not set by rules or restrictions and although not everything is perfect, everything is workable. Together they create a life for themselves and Tim learns that happiness is not borne of order and perfection.

The Brains
I originally had the idea for Repossessing Tim when I was in college but I struggled to put it into words until I teamed up with Grace Carroll who turned the small idea of a man who has his life repossessed into a ten-minute screenplay. We soon found a crew as enthusiastic as we are - Jimmy Keeping (d.o.p.), Josie Kealy (Art Direction), and Jonathan Bernhardt (sound). You can find out more about us on the pages at the top of the page. We also roped in Maria Moore to be in charge of all things social-networking as she has the technical know-how for this sort of stuff. And if you want to find out more, you can have a look at our pages using the links at the top of the page.

Check back soon for more updates!
