Cumbrian Red - Original Soundtrack
Donation protected
My name is Terry Abraham and am a multi-award-winning filmmaker and photographer. I'm also the Director and Producer of the hit BBC 'Life of a Mountain' series; three films featuring a year in the life of mountains Scafell Pike, Blencathra and Helvellyn located within the Lake District National Park.
I've recently completed filming my latest passion project film called 'Cumbrian Red: Saving Our Red Squirrels' featuring spectacular footage of our beloved and iconic native red squirrels which are sadly on the verge of extinction within the UK - and Cumbria is one last major stronghold where these beautiful creatures reside in the wild in England.
Unfortunately, despite completing the documentary I'm now all out of funds to pay my long-time composer 'Freddiehangoler' who's been working tremendously hard on the original score. With good faith and trust in me and my back catalogue of work, Freddie has continued to produce the score but can no longer do so until outstanding funds are paid - he has other work commitments after all.
I work independently of mainstream production media, preferring to make documentaries where I have free creative control and can express new ideas and share authentic tales and voices from people and places.
Unfortunately, this makes me extremely vulnerable to budget costs - whether they go up or down.
I'm now with the utmost respect and humility I'm now asking for help from members of the public to enable me to finally complete the documentary.
The uncompleted documentary has had its UK premiere and I'm thrilled to reveal it was a smash hit with audiences - although it's not complete!
I've also received a great deal of local and national press interest in the documentary including the BBC and also educational establishments and charities who have been inspired by the project via my social media and much more besides.
There's a lot of interest in 'Cumbrian Red' and so it would be a terrible shame if I was unable to complete my latest passion project film.
You can view a spoiler-free clip from the documentary below featuring Freddie's fantastic work:
'Cumbrian Red' features an insight into the lives of several red squirrels through the seasons alongside the voices of scientists, rangers, volunteers and schoolchildren as they seek to conserve and protect a beautiful but endangered species beloved by so many and is narrated by Eric Robson OBE.
Thank you for taking the time to read this page and I do hope you can support me (or rather my composer Freddie) to complete the original score for the documentary.
Unfortunately, GoFundMe will not accept alternative forms of identification on my part due to me not having a driver's licence (I don't drive) and an out-of-date passport. Funds raised will therefore go into a bank account under my wife's name (hence she's listed as the beneficiary) and the funds will then be transferred to Freddie.
ALL FUNDS RAISED will go directly to Freddie.
Thank you for taking the time to read this page and I do hope you can support me (or rather my composer Freddie) to complete the original score for the documentary.
