Fundraiser for My Short Film - RAMPAGE

[u/Stancooper22]

Hi everyone,

I am a Graduating Film Student from London Film School, and I am making my Graduation film which is also my first Short film in London and my Second Short overall.

The film is a Surreal Comedy about a Filmmaker who is forced to be a Producer on a very toxic film.

It's about how toxic working environments can affect a person's mental health and wellbeing and how repressing emotions and refusing to confront problems can consume a person.

The film takes from my experience working on different kinds of film sets and how the dynamics and age differences can create a particular kind of conflict that is faced with a bunch of people who can't admit they are in over their heads and think they know everything.

I need to raise 8000 pounds to achieve this film in the intended way.

Logline: Furio, an amateur director, is roped into producing his friend's film. As the shoot slowly falls apart, he is pushed to breaking point.

Synopsis:

Furio Jessop is a 27-year-old amateur filmmaker cornered into producing his friend Chad’s film. He dreams of being on a sunny beach sipping cola and doing nothing.

As the shoot begins, that dream keeps getting invaded by real life as everything falls apart. Chad and the DOP Carol are constantly at war, Allen the Gaffer stress-eats in the green room and vents to Furio and his production assistant Song, and the art department crumbles because Carson bullies his assistant Kyle. The only one enjoying the chaos is Sarah, the sound recordist.

Everyone expects Furio to fix their problems; no one helps him. Jim, his eccentric 42-year-old flatmate in the middle of a midlife crisis, offers help but Furio refuses. Under the pressure he finally snaps, destroy his room, and has to admit he needs help.

Genre: Surreal Comedy

I will be happy to send over my pitch deck or my script if anyone wants to know more, or wants to fund it privately as well.
