Edit: We want to start recording in June, that is in a bit less than 3 months and reach out goal in hopefully 2 months to buy all the stuff we need... so we need to push a bit now to reach YOU, our target audience!!

About HOPE

HOPE is an independent film project from Germany, based in Berlin. This movie has been a dream of mine for many years. The idea came from observing people, relationships, and the moments where hope feels fragile but still refuses to disappear. I am writing, producing, and creating this film with full passion and heart. It is not made to chase trends, but to tell a story that feels real and close, that's why this movie is not for everyone.

This movie and the fictional people in it references real persons from i came across and i learned from in my last years. This movie is a remix of types of people everyone can relate to, if it is yourself or some people you know, i want to include various types of people and their behaves.

What happens with your money

We definitely need around €8k to put two modern iPhone Rigs together, for the minimum of the price, but for the maximum of the cinematic feeling. The rest of the approximately €13k we want to use for promotion, production (music, software, hardware, licenses) and as a buffer for our actors and everyone that will work in, on and with this movie, also we don't really know how many taxes we need to pay in percent from those €20k. All the money that wasn't spend will be tried to get split for all funders evenly so you can get a small percentage back of the amount you funded

This project is built on trust, collaboration, and belief in quiet stories. HOPE exists because people choose to believe in it.
