About Only One

Alex is 25, single and lonely. Unable to deal with life as a singular person any longer, she decides to invest in the services of Doppelganger Locator in an attempt to 'find herself' and the meaning of happiness.

Through this service she meets Lex- the cool, insightful, more focused version of herself. But is she really the answer to Alex's problems? Or will Alex find that her contentment lies closer to home than she first thought?

Only One is currently in the pre-production stage and has been successful in receiving funding from the NSW state government film initiative Metro Screen, through Screen NSW. This film was chosen from a competitive field of applicants in the First Breaks funding scheme, which is designed for first-time directors to craft their debut short film. Only One will be shot in late August and be delivered completed to Metro Screen in late October.

Although the concept has roots in the genre of science fiction, the story explores universal ideas such as the delicate nature of human relationships and the journey to self discovery. Anita's influences are the works of Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Marc Forster (Stranger than Fiction).

We have already completed some concept artworks for the film (as seen in the video above) and have commissioned both the brilliant Animator Evan Newby and Composer Daniel Cartisano to put together an animated advertisement for the Doppelganger Locator service:

What are we asking for?

Although we have been provided with a budget from Metro Screen, it will only cover the very basics and we need more funds to see the film Anita has envisioned properly come to life on the screen. We are asking for an extra $4000 to bring the budget to a more realistic and quality driven level.

What will we be using the pledged funds for?

The extra funds raised by this campaign will help to pay for big ticket essentials such as:

* Cast/Crew catering

* Lighting equipment/crew

* High quality lenses

* Sound Recording equipment/crew

* Back-Up Hard Drives

For those who are new to Pozible, how does it work?

Pozible is an all-or-nothing type crowdfunding platform. That is, if the fundraising goal ($4000) is reached by the set deadline (30 days), we receive all the funds pledged towards Only One. But if we fall short of that goal, NO funds are received at all. Which is why it is important that we reach our goal, so that we CAN afford to pay for the items listed above.

What do you get out of it?

We have put together a comprehensive rewards list on the right sidebar with incentives to suit everyone at every price range. We have copies of the finished film available as both physical copies and digital downloads to keep, as well as some really cool film merchandise. Make sure to stay up to date with our Pozible campiagn, as more merchandise may be added to the packages as we have confirmations roll in!

We are also offering some really cool incentives not related to the film itself for those of you who are inclined that way, plus full access behind the scenes rewards for our high level pledgers!

All physical reward items will be delivered domestically within Australia only unless stated otherwise in the reward description.

All pledges will receive a shout out on our social media platforms and will be listed as a financier on our website. All rewards listed as $500 and above also come with a Major Financier title in the end credits of the film too!

Most importantly, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're supporting a project that will be delivered and completed by a firm deadline by a team with a previous track record. Your donation will be put to use crafting the best film we can possibly make. You will be supporting the next generation of filmmakers with the resources to take their skills to the next level and to produce a work that is competitive on the international circuit.

But in order to see this happen, you must make sure to pledge your donation before the campaign deadline so we can reach our fundraising goal!
