Sometimes with Kickstarter campaigns for gay-themed films, the funding targets are so huge it’s clear those behind it are being way too ambitious. It’s nice then to get one that’s almost the other way around, as a group of young Danish filmmakers are seeking just 6,000kr (about £630 or $960) to get their planned short film, We Are Okay Now, made.
It’s also good that once its made, they’re hoping to make it freely available for all to watch.
They say, ‘We are a small group of young film workers seeking to finance a Danish short film titled; “We Are Okay Now” (original title; “Vi er okay nu”). Your funding will primarily contribute to rental of fim equipment as the entire team is working without pay and all resources are focused around ensuring the best quality for the film.
‘The storyline is quite simplistic and involves themes of adolescence, homosexuality, sexual abuse, friendship and guilt. It revolves around the two best friends Jonnah and Demitri and takes place in the course of a night and the following morning. Jonnah is shown to be in love with Demitri and although the latter is straight and has no romantic interest in his friend, their relationship is very physical and loving. A recent traumatic experience however looms over them and affects the way they behave towards each other.
‘The film is being produced to be publicly available to everyone on social sites such as Youtube and Vimeo as well as to be entered in various film festivals. As of now it is an independent production without a production company.’
