A Love Story - The Short Film

Dear beautiful people,

My name is Ernest Kingsley JNR, and I'm the writer of A Love Story, the short film! Here's a bit about the project:

Synopsis

When an insecure teenager (Tammy) thinks he's falling in love with his best friend, his feelings snowball into something much more ominous and destructive.

It centres around a trio of best friends (Tammy, Joy and Jerome) who've grown up in a coastal city in the UK and go to college together. Their relationship is filled with an abundance of love, playfulness and heart. It's through them, that we see the toxicity obsessive feelings can bring.

Writers Intentions

Love is timeless. Universally understood. We hear the term "falling in love" , but very rarely get to see what that process looks like through an intimate lens… Especially from the perspective of young love. Succumbing to an intense affectionate feeling... What is the demeanour of someone "in love" ? How do you view the world when you think you’re in love? How detrimental can unregulated emotions be? And how do you regulate those emotions, especially as a young person? It's not our intention to answer these questions, but to broach them in a raw, potent way. In way that incites a viewer to answer the questions for themselves and push the conversation on real love forward.

What will the Funds be used for?

It's no surprise that making a film is costly. With your generous donations, we will be able to fund different departments that go into producing our film:

• Camera/sound equipment - Ensuring that the shots we take are crisp and beautifully captured

• Accommodation for cast and crew whilst filming - as well as the cost for certain filming locations

• Transportation costs. Travelling to and from set, as well carrying along set decoration and props etc.

• Post-production expenses

It's been nothing short of a labour of love (no pun intended), bringing this project together, with a wonderful team beside me. With your help and support, we can actualize this vision for our film! No donation is too small. Whatever you can offer to support, would be strongly appreciated!!

Much Love,

Ernest
