<div>We're ALMOST DONE! Just need a little help with post production (audio mix &amp; festival entry fees)
</div>
<div>We wrapped the film, it was edited by wicked legend Reg Harkema and stars Sean Jones! The colour is beautiful (by Redlab).
</div>
<div><strong>Just don't have enough to get to finish line. Hope you will help!</strong>
</div>
<div>And my surgery is done and arm healed‍
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve gone to festival &amp; won awards; now hoping to blossom and take it up a notch!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Parts of this story and its characters will pave the way for our feature length - a seminal step in the career of emerging filmmakers. Your help will allow us to take this step and it’s so greatly appreciated!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The director recently broke her arm, having a subsequent bone graft so what a difference your contribution will make!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CHARACTERS
</div>
<div><strong>Dangerous antagonists, delightful oddballs, a herd of heroes and the perennial trickster - a 12 foot inflatable pig custom-made to order that has recently arrived (and phew - already paid for)</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Excerpts from script re our favorite prop:
</div>
<div><em>In the foreground, a gigantic inflatable form, at least three metres in width tumbles past. Half toy, half balloon, the tumbling, floating, inflatable pig has a jaunty red striped</em>
</div>
<div><em>hat, tipped to the side and too small for its fat head</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(later)…..
</div>
<div><em>Inflatable pig is on its back in the grass, still for the first time. Across its immense stomach, a child with vacant eyes and slack jaw is reclining comfortably. The child's legs</em>
</div>
<div><em>spread askew distort giant pig's face so its cartoon smile is grotesque</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THEMES</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>These days it feels as though the world is tearing itself apart with violence and social division.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>We aim to do our part as artists, oiling troubled waters with our (thrilling!) film, entertaining through creepy tense action punctuated by moments of JOY! </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>At its core, Dogs of Mercy Park explores the notion of light in darkness, hope and camaraderie.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is our first time working with the actor’s union, ACTRA and some of this will go towards the actors fees, the rest to production &amp; post-production costs.
</div>
<div><strong>THANK YOU FROM THE WHOLE CAST &amp; CREW!!!</strong>
