Hi there-
I am twelve, and have been making films for six years on Super 8 and 16mm film. In 2007 and 2008 I won the National Young Filmmakers Award for Under 15's at the Leeds Young Peoples' Film Festival. You can see my films here. Two years ago I decided to start to make a feature that I would direct, produce and film. It is based on Terry Pratchett's novel, 'Only You Can Save Mankind' (don't worry, I have a contract). I decided to collaborate with my friend, and have collectively decided that 1/3 of the film was to be stop motion animated (when the characters are in the ScreeWee spaceship) and the other 2/3 Super16.
I have collected around £1000 ($2000) already and have created three budgets; one for a Super 8 version that would cost £1500 ($3000), another on 16mm that would cost £3000 ($6000) and one for Super 16 that would be £4000 ($8000). I am presently looking for sponsors and was wondering if anyone could help me or offer their services...
I am based in the UK, and plan to shoot next easter for a little over two weeks, with the animation being completed by mid-2010. The film should be released by Christmas 2010. It may be released in cinemas, but depending on how much money we raise now and in post-production, it might go straight to DVD.
I enclose a quick trailer that I made on digital (the music isn't mine, I know) and a copy of part of my Second Draft of the script. I know it needs a lot of editing but the raw structure is there.
Thanks,
Callum
