FINANCIAL SUPPORT

This project is beginning to take it's toll as we have both quit our jobs and still have to pay rent etc. as such I have taken the comments of many on board and have set up a paypal donations system - where you can donate whatever you like to help keep us going. Thankyou very much.

You can find it on my website www.thelonefilmmaker.com

But please, if you are young or want to but can't really afford to, then please - your comments and encouragement is enough.

FAQ

1. When will the project be finished?

As soon as possible - but I have never done anything like this before and it is taking a lot longer than it would if I had a team, so I will keep on until it is finished. So long as I'm doing it, the blogs will continue!

2. How will we be able to see the film?

I do not yet know. I want to try to get distribution if I can, using the support I have here on youtube to help me (there being no-one famous in the film); but I may not, in which case I will pursue other avenues - but I will find a way of everyone being able to see the film (even if I have to stand on a street corner and sell DVDs myself!!) no matter what country you live in - but will let everyone here know when I do.

3. I can seee part of your shirt, am I meant to?

Yes. The blue shirt is part of the costume. He has adapted his clothes from the work clothes his father was wearing when they fled up the mountain at the age of 6. The idea is that after I have graded the film it will look greyish.

4. I will be cutting my hair and beard at the end of filming - and will feature it in a blog when I do!

5. What camera am I using?

A Sony V1 - shooting in HDV. It costs £2500 or approx $5500.

6. How are you recording the sound?

Using a Sennheisser MKH-416 directional mic and/or a Sennheisser EW112P radio microphone. This is for voice - additional sounds such as footsteps and movement etc will be added later in additional audio recording and foley.

7. What did you do before you started this project?

I am a professional filmmaker. Please take a look at www.roberthindle.com

8. Where did you get the money from?

I made lots of corporate films and saved hard. I got a small loan, I have an overdraft, and I have some credit agreements. I owe a lot of money and am in debt - which I don't advise anyone get into!
