FILM FINANCE SEEKS FEATURE PROJECTS

8 years, 8 months ago - David Beaumont

Here it is, the posting you basically never see!

I've managed to get independent funding for not one but TWO feature films, to go into production in 2017 (ideally, at least one of them in Summer). As well as finance, the package also comes with UK theatrical distribution, and serious international interest as well dependent on the content.

Before everyone gets excited, this micro-budget stuff: £125k per film. The material has to fit, too: they need to be suitable for a Muslim family audience, with a BBFC rating of PG; and since I'm based in the UK, I need the films to be shot predominantly in the UK too.

Now what I need is the films, and the people to make them.

So, if you're a writer, producer, director, or part of a filmmaking team, and you have a script — or even just a strong, pitchable idea — that you think would fit the bill, drop me a message and I'll get back to you with more info.

Can we get a tax credit on top, or is that factored in? I'm interested to get involved, so let me have a think...

Hi David,
I hope you'd.like to invest.

Very high concept but can be shot on a low budget.
It is originally a three part drama.

Hello,

My name is Jasmine Acquaah and I’ve written an Sci-Fi Drama called “Trojan Horse” that I'd like to send your way. “Trojan Horse” is written along the same vein of films such as “Harry Potter” and “The Divergent Series” The story is set in the year 2055. A handsome gypsy called KENNETH runs away with his skittish but cute younger brother ADAM, they escape mass genocide in Zone 7 and run from Zone 7 to Zone 10. The year they live in, is set in the future- 40 years from now. They run because they do not worship Tol. Graham Redgbrink, an evil President forces everyone to worship this Tol. The last Horsemen of the Apocalypse has come. First there was a War, then many people died, then those who were still alive were starved, this was the Famine. The last is the Tol; The Beast, who after a fake period of love, brought the Mark of the Beast and forced everyone to accept it. The Mark was a number- 666. On the outside Graham Redgbrink is a human being. On the inside, The Devil. KENNETH and MARIE (MAIN CHARACTERS) meet because of it. Her twin sister MIRANDA falls in love with a Fallen Soldier; could it last? Zone 12 is a warzone. The Rapture happened many years ago. Martial Law was introduced, food was rationed, schools and prisons became VERY full. The whole world was split into a Zones TREATY. Every other religion except Tolizism was destroyed. The President’s Police called FALLEN OFFICERS, who have a rouge member called DEAN ESTHER (a possible spin-off show) guard Zone 12 thoroughly. TOO MANY of them are sexual predators. After an epic tragedy, KENNETH joins an underground rebel group called NO I.D. Can their happiness last? I believe the riveting suspense and high action in “Trojan Horse” will appeal to a very wide YA. Please let me know if I can send you the script. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Jasmine A E Acquaah

As a British-Pakistani-Muslim, I can throw a few scripts your way that have stories that will resonate with the Muslim family audience!
