Help us cover the festival submission fees for our film!

Hey everyone! Over the last 18 months we have been working on our short film “The Soup”, a dark comedy set in the rubble of Brexit Britain. The project hopes to tackle the issue of accent prejudice in a visual, comedic way.

Synopsis:

Lost in a sea of boring suits and dull dinner dates, ROBERT finds his evening threatened by his childhood friend MICKY. A disgruntled pot washer, Micky is shocked to find Robert has ‘sold out’ his heritage to climb the greasy pole of success in London. Seeking revenge, he slips something untoward into the soup. Robert struggles to both keep his rich date, HEATHER, happy and not reveal that his new image is but an illusion.

Production was self-funded through my part-time work in construction, we had just enough budget to see the project through to completion. Industry professionals volunteered their time to bring the project to life. We are so proud of what’s been accomplished, and are now aiming to bring this project and its messages to audiences around the world.

The festival circuit can be expensive; submission fees can be costly. For us to screen this project at film festivals, we are asking for your help, and every bit counts. No matter how big or small a contribution, we thank you so much for being a part of our journey!

Thanks again for taking the time to read this message!

All the best and take care,

Joe x
