Funding: May 2008 Archives
...after a fairly extended period of absence.
We have been busy though, Brian and I. We are currently trying to put the funding together for I Love Luci. Comparatively, it's quite a pricey short, some people have shot features for the same money (under £60k). However, it's only pricey in a particular context and we are aiming to make a film reflective of our potential to make something for the cinema, films for the big screen.
I can't really discuss who we are talking to about finance at the moment, apart from obviously we will be making an application to our local funding body Scottish Screen. This is de rigueur for any UK production. Some local funding is available to projects that fulfil certain criteria (applications come with a set of guidelines you have to comply with and it's a good idea to build a relationship with the people at your local screen agency when going through the process).
In short, things are progressing, slowly but surely. It is nerve racking though when you get to the point where it's time for people to put their money where their mouth is. Everyone who has read the script has had a very favourable response but that doesn't mean they'll be willing to put any money into it...
The image below is of my room in Cannes this year, but I thought it might be a source of inspiration for Marjory's room in I Love Luci.
