It’s difficult asking people for money. Especially now. I know that. But here’s why.
I’ve written a horror screenplay a lot of people seem to like very much. Industry people whose opinions I value and trust.
To have a shot at getting that feature script made we first need to demonstrate we know what we’re doing. To that end I’ve written a self-contained short film – a proof of concept. Again, another script people seem to like very much.
We are shooting that short film over the Anzac Day long weekend. This is coming off the back of shooting another proof of concept short at the end of January which was a trial of fire for me and my creative collaborators which we passed with flying colours.
Except it means our resources are somewhat depleted. Not in the talent, goodwill, right way of going about things perspective. But in the dollars kind of way to look after our cast and crew and for any additional equipment we may need.
Why should you care if Richard gets to make a great short film to possibly get to make a feature film?
It’s a good question.
It feels like I’ve served a twenty-year apprenticeship and suddenly everything is happening all at once. Crazy things, wonderful things, exciting things.
I’d like to think that that over the journey I have been supportive of people with their own creative dreams and endeavours. Nobody owes me anything though.
But if you are able to spare a few dollars in a tax-deductible donation I’d love to be able to show you all what my creative talents and dreams are.
If you got this far, thank you for reading. To those people who have already donated, I cannot sufficiently express my enormous gratitude.

Thank you for your consideration.
Richard
