A Drive-In Cinema Short Film
DO YOU LOVE THE 1950's? THE COLOUR, THE MUSIC, THE ATMOSPHERE!
THEN HELP US BRING IT BACK!!
AND
PRESENT:
"PENNY"
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS 'PENNY'?
'Penny' is a short film we are producing in partnership with Dromana 3 Drive-In cinema as a 'proof of concept' for a feature film.
The feature film is written and investors are attached, however as we are not Peter Jackson or Steven Spielberg, we need to prove we are capable of producing a high-end, high production value film so our investors can secure funding!
Can we do it? HECK YES WE CAN!
SO WHAT'S THIS SHORT FILM ABOUT?
Set in the 1950's at an Australian Drive-In cinema, 'Penny' is about a scruffy young cleaner who works at the Drive-In named Timmy. All Timmy ever wanted is one dance with his dream girl 'Penny', the best dancer in town, but there's a little problem...Timmy can't dance.
With help from his best friend and Drive-In car hop girl Donna, Timmy is determined to do what he has to, to get that dance and win Penny's heart.
SO WHO'S MAKING THIS FILM?
If we want a great production we need to get a great production team on board! Final Focus Australia, a company that specialises in cinema advertising and video marketing content will be producing this film complete from script to screen.
The best part of all, they're doing the filming and editing for FREE!

SO WHERE'S ALL THIS MONEY GOING?
All funds raised will go towards production costs and include paying for:

AND WHAT IF WE RAISE MORE THAN WE NEED?
