WHAT A CAMPAIGN! WHAT A RIDE! Thank you all so much for your support over this last month. We've not only raised over and above what we ever expected, we've also welcomed new colleagues to our team and made new friends. We're well into finalising Cyberlante and now able to move things on to the next stage: sound design. As soon as the film is completed and ready for screening, you'll be the first to know!

CYBERLANTE is a feature-length film produced by Raya Films exploring the world of cybercrime and hacking for good… and evil…



This crime thriller tells the story of Matt (Gavin Gordon), a mysterious young man who moves to a new town to work in a low-level job in an isolated hotel, run by unsympathetic bully, Clayton Kendall (Mark Peachey) who holds deadly secrets of his own.



Co-starring Emily Haigh, Mia Mills, Tiberius Russo and John Savage, Cyberlante was shot in the East Midlands, UK.



Shooting has wrapped and we are now deep into editing, and we estimate Cyberlante to be ready for an exclusive red carpet preview screening later this year. Before breaking out the Champagne, however, we need to raise funds for the final phases of post-production. So here’s where you come in!



WHAT WE NEED

We have been able to graft away at editing the film so that we have a cohesive story with all the twists and turns you can expect from a cybercrime thriller. There are some things we can’t do ourselves, however, such as sound design because we don’t have the specialist software or years of university training required… but we know people that do!



We are partnering with a company who has offered to help out for a seriously nice price. So our goal is to raise £2,000 GBP to cover the following:

 

• Sound design, sound editing and mixing


• Final polishing of the picture elements: colour correction, titles


• Greenlit crowdfunding fees


• Bank charges

WHO ARE WE?

We are James Smith and Caroline Spence - a writer/director and screenwriter/producer partnership who work under the banner of Raya Films and connect with other film professionals throughout the world to realise our projects.



We can now proudly state that our debut feature film Do Something, Jake is an award winner, which, after packed theatrical screenings, has been signed up for worldwide distribution. Female-led Euro thriller Agent Kelly comes hot on Jake’s heels (World Premiere, spring 2020), and Cyberlante is our third feature film, which we also want to screen and release online in 2020.

WHAT MAKES THIS FILM DIFFERENT?

There’s an intriguing story behind the making of Cyberlante, but you’ll have to wait for the ‘making of’ documentary to discover the juicy gossip. What we can tell you, however, is that with Cyberlante, we have joined the ranks of Sundance headliner, Sean Baker (Tangerine), and Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (High Flying Bird/Unsane) by shooting a feature-length movie on the latest mobile phone technology!

Cyberlante is classed as ‘experimental’ but we can’t claim shooting on a mobile phone as the sole reason. Much of the screenplay was written as we progressed through the shoot, with actors improvising some scenes. We played with composition, light and shadow and shot in a variety of beautiful locations. It was challenging and it was fun, and we think you’re going to love it!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE MOVIE IS FINISHED?

Once we are able to move Cyberlante to ‘complete’ status on IMDb we will hold a  RED CARPET PREMIERE event (UK), and anyone who has attended the screening events for our other movies will know that we don’t hold back on the paparazzi and glamour! Then we’ll put all our efforts into distributing the film worldwide on VoD/SVoD (Video on Demand/Subscription Video on Demand) platforms such as Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes.

RISKS & CHALLENGES

Minimising risk is always good practice, especially when asking for support or finance. We have shot four feature films to date, and we have successful crowdfunding campaigns under our belt for two of those four features! We are working with professionals with whom we have collaborated before, so we know they can deliver. Plus, the film is already shot, so the risks are limited to just editing and finishing the film, which we are confident we can complete with your generous support.
