Hi!
I'm not one to gloriously self promote but what the hell? I am directing a feature film in March, self funded, low budget but giving it the best damn try I can!
If you want to follow the production and learn more, feel free to head on over to the facebook page, give us a like, follow or even a share!
Thanks in advance!

I know! What the hell? Let's do this! Funnily enough I have hit upon a creative way to generate interest on facebook for respective projects. Want to hear it?

@Christopher Jolley Great news on your feature! Filmed a super low budget one myself in September. Editing now. Yeah, go on then! What's the secret sauce for interest?

@Christopher Jolley I'd love to hear it! I'm working on a feature film as well, we're planning to start principal photography in April, and in the mean time we're getting things ready and planning on doing some of the small one-off shoots for characters with small screen time.
We are planning on running a crowdfunding campaign or something to generate some additional funding for the project; right now we've just enough to cover costs, but with no margin.

Well done guys, first feature is big step!
Just a tip from someone who's walked this path - I recommend brushing up on some of the production grades you must set up a payroll for - HMRC are very strict about it but nobody will tell you in advance, so this can cost you dearly down the road for the sake of getting it right upfront.

Hi Paddy thanks for the advice buddy! This is all a learning curve!

Hi Mark, cheers buddy! Sadly all roles have been cast! But will definitely bear you in mind for future projects! If you friend me on facebook, I tend to tag friends on facebook if I spot a project or film that's either looking for crew and cast if I think they could be a match. Cheers!

I've just finished my film. Premiere at cinema in Cambridge on March 13th Made it for next to nothing. Well, the price of a small second hand car. Trailer is here if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE6HPbZYS7M
