The Pledge For Mr Bunny: 

A boy's fascination with machines leads him down a path of deceit and betrayal.

The Pledge For Mr Bunny is the second short film project from Sydney filmmakers collective, Soda Honey Films. Our first short film endeavour, Lichen, has just begun it's festival circuit, playing as part of the official selection at the Warsaw Film Festival in Poland, the Baja Film Festival in Mexico, and will play at Flickerfest in Sydney in January 2013.

Our films are all privately funded - from our own bank accounts, from kind donations from family, and any other loose change we may find hiding between lint in our pockets. Now, we are hoping to maximise the marvellous potential of crowd-funding to help us add a little bit more screen cred, and well, help us finish this film!

Whether you've come to this page as a friend, family member, colleague or total stranger/potential supporter- THANK YOU.

Have a gander, get in touch, we love new people!!!

Thanks,

Soda Honey Films

THE CAST:

Tom Usher - 'Scotty'

Tom was born in Los Angeles in the shadow of the Hollywood sign in 2002 and thus acting was hardwired into his DNA. His big screen debut was in Stephan Elliott's A Few Best Men and his theatrical debut at Belvoir in Matthew Whittet's acclaimed Old Man. He is currently playing the role of Dick Thornhill in the Sydney Theatre Company's adaptation of The Secret River and will next be seen in The Landing.

Ellacoco McIver - 'Nelly'

7-year-old Ellacoco had her first screen debut as a baby in 2005, on the popular Aussie TV soap drama, Home and Away. Since then she has appeared in commercials for HBF, Woolworths and Arnotts. She loves to sing, dance and perform. She's a cutie! The Pledge For Mr Bunny is her first film.

She has since spent (close to) a quarter-century of life in love with the magic of film and the beauty of a good story.
