Hey everyone!

We are a group of 4, first year film students currently in the works of making our first short film. Revive is a tale that explores anxiety, friendship and isolation. Revive is a coming of age indie-drama film that follows a 17-year-old boy named Elliot, who attends a surfing counselling session in hopes to conquer his fears of isolation and anxiety. Elliot sees these sessions as his last opportunity to break free from his social fears and anxieties. However, he slowly comes to realise that the therapy session is absolutely awful and hopeless. After experiencing a mild panic attack during the session, he finds comfort and friendship in another member of the group named Rosanna. We watch as the unusual bond between Elliot and Rosanna grows stronger and Elliot becomes more confident and outgoing as the session goes on. Eventually, Elliot finds the courage to hit the waves with his new-found friend. 

The Crew

Eloise Wenborn - DIRECTOR

Brenton Salomons - CINEMATOGRAPHER

Harriet Dicks - EDITOR

Soooo here's the problem. Since we are poor uni students, we need your help to make this film the best we possibly can. In other words... we need your money.

FOOD

Ideally we wouldn't want our cast and crew starving to death, so we're going to need to feed them. We need enough food to cover 3 days of long, stressful filming.

PERMITS AND LOCATIONS

As we are shooting the entire film on a beach, we need to pay the council in order to use their land legally for filming. However it is necessary we shoot on an actual beach and not a room filled with green screen.... for obvious reasons.

TRAVEL

Costs for fuel and transport

COSTUMES

We'll need wetsuits or beach wear for our main cast and extras
