Hello, We are Box'd (Like a Fish)! We are currently developing and producing two short films, Full House + A Man Walks into a Bar with a Chainsaw, and are in need of additional funding to make sure these films are finished with our full creative expectations.
Many aspects of our productions that would be assisted with your support are:
- Paying Actor expenses
- Renting Shooting locations
- Transport for our Cast, Crew and Equipment
- Props + Costumes
- Makeup, Hair and Practical Effects. e.g. blood and gore
Full House Synopsis:
2 Rival bingo goers compete in a tense, bloody and gory standoff to win coveted "Big Money," full house prize.
This film is a comment on the sins of jealously, greed and wrath. A body horror/ surrealist short that plays on the innocence of older ladies at an everyday bingo game.
-Archie, Full House Director
The main inspiration for my film is my grandmother who was a manager at a bingo hall when I was a kid. I remember the rage and poison being thrown around the room of OAPs and thought it was inspiring. A film that inspired my idea is Natural Born Killers and the surrealist, violent style that Oliver Stone portrays which would create a funny contrast to two, seemingly innocent, older ladies.
A Man Walks into a Bar with a Chainsaw Synopsis:
As a way to claim his mental health checks back, a man decides to stage a public outburst in a pub.
-Jack, A Man Walks into a Bar with a Chainsaw Director and Writer
I really enjoy character studies where the protagonist isn't a good person but there is still an underlying sympathy you gain either throughout the film or just for the character in general. For example Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, the character is completely unlikable but you can't help but feel sorry for him at the end. In this film, I wanted to blend a surreal and silly idea into a realistic atmosphere and tone.
Any donors will be included in the credits as Supporters. Donations above £5 will grant you Behind-the-Scenes photos on set, and an early online showing of both films before they release publicly.
We hope that, with your loving support, we can produce these films to yours and our positive expectations. <3
