Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Need help.
I am putting together a short film, "Double Black," a dark comedy about downhill riding, suicide and men's issues. I have been writing this film for about a year now, the screenplay itself won a major award. There basically aren't any narrative projects around the world of MTB, also as someone who's worked in the film industry for about 2 years now, there's a real lack of decent content on men's issues; almost nobody wants to talk about male suicide and when we do, it's typically only framed in a men vs women debate.
Cinematically, I'm trying to do something a little different. I'm trying to recapture that feeling of being totally out of your depth on a trail... kinda like an allegory for life really. It'll be sort of a mix between LifeCycles and Fight Club.
At the moment I have already pooled a heap of resources together, we have bikes, crew and cast, we'll be shooting out in some of Victoria's (Australia) best trails. The screenplay won a major award for writing, but even still I need to raise $7000 to get this project shot by March.
Check out the Double Black crowdfunding campaign.
Any help that can be provided whether that be to just throw us $5 or help us with publicity would go a loooong way.
Cheers!
