This is the latest short film i am working on, it is called Boat and we are in pre production. I am working with Katie Crook (Blue Iris Films) who is producing the film. It is going to be a great project and the team we are bringing together are all excellent in their chosen fields, our CGI Artist has had over 15 years experience working on games and films such as Judge Dredd and the Avengers, he is currently a lead artist at Rockstar Games. Check out his concept stills below.
Synopsis:
BOAT - The world is covered with water, Charlie is restricted to his boat searching for a home he may never find. Plagued by memories, nightmares and hallucinations will Charlie ever find what he’s after?
The film is a 9 minute short CGI-meets-live-action film about a very personal apocalypse. In the vein of a low budget ‘The Road’, ‘Inception’, ‘Pincher Martin’ and with hints of Magritte this is an eclectic and ambitious project shooting in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The film is now up on the IndieGoGo website. This is a crowdfunding website where art projects ask for small cash donations from friends, family and random internet surfers to fund their projects.
Take a moment to check it out on IndieGoGo and also share it with absolutely everyone you know. You can make a funding contribution, or simply just follow our updates.
