WELCOME, PUT
YOUR FEET UP
Hey you. Thanks for stopping by. Take a load off and go for a virtual stroll around our page for ‘The King is Dead’, a VCA graduate short film that has a whole bunch of Elvis going on.
We're crazily excited about making ‘The King is Dead’, and we hope some of our enthusiasm rubs off on you. You might see something you like, or dare we say it, even reach into your pocket. Hopefully for your wallet and not other things, despite Elvis being pretty attractive.
Any donation is massively appreciated, big or small, because we're students. We froth at the sight of a 5 dollar bill. By donating you are taking part in the making of this film and we literally can’t do it without you.
So, in advance... Thank you, thank you very much.
No really, thanks heaps.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
‘The King is Dead’ is a film about one man having a bit of an identity crisis.
After his Cadillac breaks down, a lonely Elvis impersonator is stranded in a small Australian country town. While playing a series of tribute shows, he discovers the real Elvis Presley is alive and well, now an old and jaded mechanic. Both Elvis' must learn from each other what it truly means to be The King.
WHAT'S OUR GOAL?
Our goal is to add an extra $5000 to the money we’re putting up ourselves, to help with costs that come with making a short film.
We are on Pozible to ensure that by the time we step on set, we are in the best place possible to do the script justice. We want this film to kick goals and we know it will but as we said, (clears throat), we are poor.
We would love to reward every amazing human who has and is going to help out on this film, by getting into Australian and international film festivals.
WHAT'S THE MONEY GOING TOWARD? $$
The monies will go towards everything. We are really lucky to have a lot of dedicated, generous people volunteering their time to work on this film, but unfortunately, there are some things we need that we can't buy with promises of love.
Here's our shopping list. It's kinda like the one we would take into Coles but instead of tomatoes it says Cadillacs.
-Music rights for Elvis songs (apparently he is a pretty famous guy and his music is pricey)
-The cost of transporting a couple of old Cadillacs to a northern country town
-The cost of transporting the cast and crew to a northern country town
-Catering. Because our Mums stopped making us sandwiches a while ago
-Lights and sound!
-And stuff like everything else that we could write but won't, because this is getting pretty long already.
ARE WE GOING TO STOP ASKING RHETORICAL QUESTIONS?
Yes.
So take a gander at our little trailer and have a geez at the rewards, hopefully your curiosity is piqued. It doesn't matter how much the donation is, we will literally love you.
Thanks again for your support.
Curtis and Biffy.
