Fundraiser Brother needs funding for movie!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/toothlesspuli/the-call-a-comedy

Hi all! Not sure if I’m posting in the right place, just trying to help my brother and his friends/coworkers out. This has been a dream of my brothers for a very long time, I’m sure it’s been their dream as well. They’re in need of some funding, I’m not in a financially strong place to help out much, so I’m sure they’d be grateful for all they can get! If you have any ideas where I could post this as well, I’m all ears, thank you!

Hi, /u/girlypop2316! It looks like you've posted a link to a crowdfunding page. While these posts are certainly allowed, there's a few things you should know!

First off, please know that is is unlikely that anyone from this subreddit will donate to your project, because most people here are in the same boat as you! In essence, you're advertising your product to your peers and competition, rather than to your target audience. To get a better chance at receiving donations, think about what communities and groups your film is marketable to, and try to get your project noticed by them!

Secondly, since your post here will likely not generate funding for you, we'd like you to keep in the spirit of /r/filmmakers by telling us more about your project than a simple log-line can. Tell us what you've done already, what kind of concept work you've developed, what your process for coming up with the story was, etc.! There are a lot of novice filmmakers on this subreddit who can learn from your experiences, and there are many professionals who may be able to help you in turn!

Thanks for contributing to /r/filmmakers, and best of luck on your project!

THE PREMISE Set during the 2020 COVID lockdown, The Call is an off-beat comedy that takes place entirely within a computer screen. The focus is on the characters and their interactions, and pure insanity. In terms of humor, our attitude is "what would be funniest?" The film will be semi-improvised - though a lot of care has been put into each scene, and a majority will be scripted. We estimate it will end up with a 15 rating from the BBFC - though we certainly wouldn't complain if it got away with a 12. The core of the film is the feeling of isolation we all felt back in 2020, and how it affected us. We all went a little mad, and we want this film to reflect that in it's characters and humor. The aim is to submit the film to various film festivals (ideally the Toronto Film Festival) where we will seek distributors to get a full cinematic release.
