    Our Goal:

    'Projectionist' (noun): a person whose job is to operate a projector in a cinema.

    Set in the most easterly town in England, Lowestoft, a young Projectionist (Andrew Hooper) must overcome grief and barriers created from his Mother's untimely death, and rebuild his filmmaking career in order to work on his grief and become the man she wanted to him to be.

    We are shooting the film on location in Lowestoft in June this year, we hope to raise our target fund of £750 which will help us pay cast and crew, catering, costumes, props and our film festival submissions fees in order to spread our film. Our film is about mental heath and the power of cinema. A literal love letter to cinema. We hope you enjoy reading this and seeing the rewards given with donations.

    If you would like to help us continue our journey, we've got some fantastic rewards to give away in return for your generous donations to which we would be beyond grateful to receive. 

    Movies are Dreams.

    Let's Create Together. 

    We can't do it without you!
