Hello, YOTKO Productions and Iside Studios from Perth, Western Australia bring to you Iside's 1st short film horror drama "The Perfect Family". The main synopsis being about a mixed race upper middle class utopian family celebrating their daughters birthday only to discover that they're not what they seem. For anyone that's a fan of Jordan peels horror films and style; especially his film "US" will love our story in a shorter frame.
Our campaign is to spread our 1st short film far and wide to as many people as possible for 3 reasons;
1. We are extremely proud of our short film and want to showcase it to as many people as possible, thus creating our audience for more to come.
2.It showcases diverse and unique, multicultural talents both in front and behind the camera that Perth, Australia has for the whole world to see.
3. For any other filmmakers reading this, i'm sure you've heard many times before from other disgruntled filmmakers that "shorts don't make money", "They only should exist as something to put on your portfolio, to potentially sieze any opportunities for bigger projects down the road". well, we want to defy that to give hope to other indie filmmakers as well that it IS possible...But we need your help.
What We Need
The total ideal amount we would need to further marketing our short film entirely is sum total of AUD $118,569.73
Now, anyone thinking "That sounds like too much for a short film, What are you planning to do with all that if it's already been completed?" That's a very good question. Here's the breakdown on what we are marketing;
- Goole ads and social media ads to drive traffic for the following;
- all VOD releases
- merchendise
- Blogs about our experiences making this short
- Our film festival submissions
- This campaign
- Submission fees for our chosen film festivals
- Graphics costs for advertising purposes.
- Travel +accomodation fees to go to selected film festivals (if selected)
- Creating merchandise
- recouping expenses for the cast, crew, equipment hire, catering and post production expenses
The Impact
Feel free to explain more about your campaign and let people know the difference their contribution will make:
You'll be credited in the end credits once released online and in your own copy
YOTKO Productions has implemented the same techniques with its prime short film "Full Circle" , so we know this can work.
This will be a prime example if giving inspiration to indie filmmakers that they can earn a living with their shorts beyond the conventional methods we all know by being entrepreneurial and creative and thinking outside the box.
Risks & Challenges
Luckily we have orchestrated our marketing plan in a way that makes it possible to still achieve our goal. Just at a smaller scale than desired. So, it's not a complete boom or bust scenario as long as we can reach min 25% of our goal.
Any doners from any tier, we will acknowledge your goodies via response email + will send your goodies within min 2 weeks of this campaigns expiration date.
