The Society - Short Film

We are an international team of students on the MA Acting for Screen course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

 

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

We're fundraising for our final project - a female-written and produced comedy mockumentary following three unconventional characters who escape modern society by founding a commune.

We have drawn inspiration from This Country, The Good Life, What We Do in the Shadows, This is Spinal Tap, and The Office. Take a listen to our song-spiration for the film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXHsWBKKNbI&ab_channel=LynnAndersonVEVO

WHAT IS OUR GOAL?

Every penny donated will help bring this film to life. We’ll use the funds to pay the crew, rent equipment, complete post-production, and submit to film festivals. We plan to use this film as proof of concept for a TV series.
