<div>Hello my name is James and my team of passionate filmmakers are embarking on an ambitious film project titled Geranium, and we need your support to bring our vision to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Based on a true RAF mission during World War II — a daring low-level night flight over the Baltic Sea, where an aircrew of young men faced overwhelming odds to lay mines in enemy shipping lanes. Inspired by real accounts and family history, this film pays tribute to the courage, camaraderie, and quiet heroism of bomber crews who flew missions few ever knew about.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unlike many war stories that focus on glory and victory, Geranium is intimate, tense, and deeply human. It follows the crew of Lancaster DX-M from a warm afternoon playing cards, through a high-stakes briefing, into the night sky on a mission that would test their skill, nerve, and unity. Six aircraft set out; only three made it through. DX-M returned home with 26 holes torn through her fuselage—and a crew who lived to tell the tale.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Film Matters:
</div>
<ul>
<li>It tells a true, lesser-known story of bravery and survival.
</li>
<li>It honours my great-grandad's crew from 57 Squadron who risked everything.
</li>
<li>It combines historically accurate storytelling with cinematic techniques inspired by Dunkirk, Memphis Belle, and The Battle of Britain.
</li>
<li>It’s a community-driven project, built by filmmakers passionate about preserving living history before it fades.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Support Will Fund:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Authentic WWII set design and costumes
</li>
<li>Renting a Lancaster bomber
</li>
<li>Period-accurate props
</li>

</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — big or small — helps us bring this powerful story to the screen. By supporting Geranium, you’re not just funding a film; you’re helping preserve a piece of history, honouring the bravery of those who served, and ensuring their stories are remembered by future generations.
