It’s not easy getting funding for LGBT themed projects, especially if the subject matter doesn’t seem instantly commercial. However crowdsourcing money has become an increasingly good way for such film to try and get made.
We’ve heard from an Aussie outfit who have launched just such a campaign to try and get their movie made. Here’s what they had to say about it, “Nancy Pansy Hairy Mairy is about two gay serial killers who have a taste for killing homophobes and the day they meet and fall in love. The film is essentially a love story with a bloody edge that sets out to show the deadly effects of homophobia as well as turn the tables on it. With what happened recently at Kiev’s first attempt at a Gay Pride, we believe it is of utmost importance to get this film made.
“We started a fundraising campaign on pozible.com, where we are trying to raise a quarter of our budget and really need support in getting the word out there to the people. The film was written by Bartholomew Sammut and Kelly West and is being directed by Christoph Scheermann, who has won several awards for his previous short films Fresh Air Therapy and Cakes & Sand. Starring in the film is Frank Christian Marx as Felix Hairy Mary & Bartholomew Sammut as Sebastian Nancy Pansy… Just by starting this campaign we were able to secure a distributor, the wonderful Peccadillo Pictures!”
If you’d like to know more about the film and possible give a bit of money, with thank you rewards available depending on how much you give, head over to Pozible and take a look.
