Welcome to the Go Fund Me page for "Blowing In The Wind" a 20-minute dystopian and folk thriller that delves deep into the complexities of societal collapse and human survival. Drawing inspiration from films like 'Midsommar', 'The Tree of Life' and somehow the interview style of "I Tonya", "Blowing In The Wind" is a cinematic exploration into how one young woman's slow surrender of identity emancipates her from the lies she had been living all her life.

The story takes place in a near future and follows Emily Mallick and her Cameraman as they are granted 24 hours to document an isolated commune in an effort to understand how others have chosen to live. However, when their visit is extended due to unforeseen circumstances and their lies slowly uncovered, the two of them soon realise that what they have discovered will alter their lives forever.

"Blowing In The Wind" is a story of survival and navigating one's life in the midst of a world turned against itself. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and an exploration of faith and the conflicts of the human condition set against a backdrop of changing beliefs.

With your support and by joining us on this journey, you'll become an essential part of this film. The overall budget for the film is £4500, half of which I have self funded, and with your support we can reach the full amount.

The Crew:

1) The Writer/Director

Sebastian Kensey is a writer, director and editor based in London. After studying History at Exeter University he has returned to his full time passion and love of making films. With experience on set and in the cutting room on various projects across narrative, commercial and music, Seb is now introducing "Blowing In The Wind" as his directorial debut short film and he can't wait to bring you along the process.

2) The Producer

Zara Trott is a Short Film Producer based in London. After attending Westminster Film School she has gone on to work in the film industry working on various projects including Sky’s ‘Mary and George’ and Blue Print Pictures ‘Wicked Little Letters’. In her free time, Zara produces short films and music videos.

After meeting through a mutual friend at a pub, Seb and Zara immediately hit it off due to their common interest in films and storytelling. Since then they have both discussed the possibility of making a short film together and here it is. Currently both working full time in the industry they have decided to use their down time since early this year to plan and produce "Blowing In The Wind".

Your help:

In order to tell the story of "Blowing In The Wind" as best as we can we are in need of some financial support which will be allocated thoughtfully across crucial production elements of the film.

Our priority for this funding is location and equipment hire. The film is set in a sunflower field, a barn, a forest and a house. We will also be using the money to help with production expenses (i.e. travel and catering).

This film means a great deal to myself. Having worked at a top Film & TV editorial house for the last two years, I decided it was time create something with my own personal stamp on it from the very get go of production - Write it, direct it and then, with possible insanity, edit it. "Blowing In The Wind" is a long-awaited collaboration that we intend on submitting to major festivals.

We are incredibly grateful for any donations and to say thank you we've arranged some rewards.

We thank you for considering being a part of "Blowing In The Wind" and whatever your support, it is invaluable to us.

Risks and Challenges:

A common risk for "Blowing In The Wind" includes getting funding together before we shoot the film. We will make sure we contact Executive Producers to see if they are interested in being apart of the film to help support the film financially.
