Good Life

Good Life Feature Film is Closer than you think!!!!

How can we turn this perceived negative time during Lock Down into something positive?
How can we earn a living without paying jobs?  
Answer: Make Good Life!!! The film I have been working on for over 13 years!!!
All the crew and actors who work on international films are at home, not earning money.
What if we made Good Life now (without pay) and then all get paid once we sell the film?
Netflix and other channels will be desperately needing content!!!!

So I turned to the top talent and crew in our industry, the people I have always wanted to make this film with, and asked them:
"Would you help me make Good Life without being paid while we are in  lock down and there are no jobs in the foreseeable future?"
One by one they have all said a resounding Yes!!! Lets make this happen!!!!

So we are going to start shooting in Cape Town at the beginning of August for 4 weeks!!!!!
We still need a bit of money for the Art Department, food for the cast and crew, camera and lighting consumables and then its Lights! Camera! Action! go!

Please jump on board and donate any small amount so we can make the best film possible!
Please note any donations will be charged directly when you make them.

You can be involved in the film directly by paying  for one of the following items in the film
You will receive a credit in the Film and get to say "I paid for the 'octopus' or 'taxi sign'  when you see the film!"
Choose the one you want to claim as your contribution to making the film and leave me a comment so I can give you the film credit.
