Help take Held For A Moment to its next stage
Donation protected
"Held For A Moment" is a 20 min short film directed by Edward Japp, starring Antonia Desplat, Liam McMahon and Niamh McGrady.
Told through the eyes of a young woman, the film follows Alice's journey after the loss of her stillborn child.
We are currently in the final stage of post-production, our film has now been edited and the music has been composed by Alexandre Desplat (two time Oscar winner).
The festival submissions have started and we now need some extra help to take our project to the next stage. The festival run is the most crucial part in order to get exposure and to raise awareness.
Each festival application costs between £40-£70 and we are hoping to apply to approximately 40 festivals. We also need to hire a management company to create a marketing strategy, which is essential in order to help our film stand out. Every little helps, so please do contribute in anyway you can.
If you are interested in supporting us further but would like to see the unfinished edit first, please don't hesitate to email us at [email redacted] and we will send you a private link to the unmastered edit.
In any event, thank you all again for your kind support, without which the film would not have been possible.
Here are a couple of pictures and a link to our BTS video :
