Two of the greatest passions in my life are cinema and music, so the idea of this project is to combine those two things by fusing screenings of some of the greatest cult movies with a dark alternative twist and DJs playing music that compliments those silver screen gems.
With thanks to the folks at

Funds will be used to cover the venue hire, security and movie royalties. This comes to approx $1300 +GST but I'm happy to dip into my pocket a little if necessary to get things moving and keep ticket prices reasonable so I'm setting the target at $1k if we raise more than the required funds I'll put any excess into canapes or maybe a free drink on arrival etc. depending on how much.
Capacity is strictly limited to 100 (78 for the cinema) so I can only sell 90 tickets total (70 movie + club and 20 club only).
Balancing the music and the movies and working with such a limited capacity venue are the main challenges for this project.
