In addition, a strong online marketing campaign has already begun and will continue throughout production to distribution, offering content to engage our target audience and convert them into sales. 6. With the cost of high quality film production at an all- time low and a seismic shift in distribution methods towards accessible online sales and Video on Demand (VOD), shrewd low budget productions are able to create films of exceptional quality and substance and deliver them to consumers in the most targeted way, whilst keeping costs incredibly low. The base budget for Remembering the Future is £200,000 which includes a 10% contingency. This amount would enable the film to be shot to the highest theatrical standards whilst keeping costs low enough to reach profitability for investors. This will be no easy task, but the team behind Seat 25 have demonstrated that they can make small amounts of investment go a very long way!

Why invest in an independent film? · Diversify your portfolio. Films aren’t correlated to the economic situation, and the movie industry has experienced strong and consistent growth. · Support a locally produced independent film. Remembering the Future is set and will be shot in large part in the rural South West of England, supporting the local economy and bringing the area to the attention of international audiences. In addition, the market share of independent UK films at the box office in 2017 was 9.5%, an increase from 7.4% in 2016 (source: BFI) · Boutique experience of being part of an exciting movie production. This is a unique, once‐in‐a‐ lifetime opportunity to visit the set, appear in the movie, be part of exclusive investor events, and have a lot of fun! REASONS TO INVEST 10. WHY INVEST IN REMEMBERING THE FUTURE 1. The right product · Solid script based on 6 substantial drafts, with professional feedback and tables reads with professional actors. · Clear target market: The film falls into the science-fiction genre, specifically the highly popular intellectual science- fiction sub-genre. · Broad general appeal: In addition, the high concept plays out in an ordinary, terrestrial setting and so will appeal to audiences who may not ordinarily chose the science-fiction genre (our previous film Seat 25 also fit this remit and has received excellent feedback in both test screenings and festival screenings from a ‘non-science-fiction’ audience). Remembering the Future also features 2 strong female leads which will appeal to audiences from mid-teens to 45+, as well as being written and produced by Madeleine Cooke, catering to the growing thirst for female voices in film production. 11. · Cultural Value: It is our sincere aim to inspire young women and men to embrace science and bring a spirit of scientific curiosity to the broader public.

  • The Position Is Looking Forward to Welcoming Into Its Lively, Talented and Active Family a Priest-In-Charge to Lead Us with New Vision to a Revival
    All Saints’ Church, Halifax, The Position is looking forward to welcoming into its lively, talented and active family a priest-in-charge to lead us with new vision to a revival. Wordcloud of responses to a recent Congregational Survey asking which are the most important qualities expected of a new priest Page 2 The Prospects All Saints’ has spent some time learning, reflecting and praying on the theory of growth in terms of our relationships with God, with each other and with People Out There. There has been a certain amount of progress, particularly in discipleship so that a number of people have stepped forward to take up positions of responsibility with aptitude and enthusiasm. The pastoral care related to this activity is an important consideration going forward. There is great enthusiasm for continuing to develop discipleship; and we seek to grow in numbers, faith and finances with new leadership from an incoming priest-in-charge. Having spent much time and effort on developing a Welcome Garden, which should have been officially opened in May 2020, the church needs someone who can enthusiastically lead forward the detailed and widespread programme of events and projects a dedicated team has put in place. With this we hope to encourage the community into our precincts with an intention of leading them a step further into our church building and our church family. The enthusiasm and commitment shown over the past few years for the Welcome Garden Project and the keen interest in seeing it used, reveals an eagerness to reach out into the surrounding area.

  • Building Continuing Drama Shows a UK Exchange for Drama Professionals Running Soaps, Telenovelas and Long Running Series
    Building Continuing Drama Shows A UK Exchange for Drama Professionals running Soaps, Telenovelas and Long Running Series Soaps are Continuing Dramas and a massive powerhouse for any TV channel in terms of the high viewing figures and engaging returning audience. A specialised programme, which MediaXchange has been running since 2016, addresses the creative process through meetings with your counterparts in the UK. Send the key creative team from your ‘Soap’ to spend time with writers, producers and TV channel executives of leading British Soaps and Continuing Dramas to analyse and explore the writing, long term planning and production process so key to long running success. Add the option for a continuing drama specialist to visit your full writing team at your home base to workshop on story planning and strategies for improving collaboration. Rationale We appreciate the challenges, faced by the studio and channel executives, the producers and writers, in maintaining the number of episodes and high rating storylines when working with year round series which run weekly or 3-5 days per week. We hope you will see what we have termed the Soaprunner Exchange as a useful tool in supporting the creative team behind your show. The UK is a particularly strong producer of ‘continuing dramas’ and ‘drama serials’ with each of the principal broadcasters airing more than long running show, whether one-hour or half hour, in primetime and daytime slots. It is a natural utilisation of the resources at our disposal to propose an exchange of processes between a successful show from Europe and shows from the same genre in the UK.
