<<ANNOUNCEMENTS>>
Hey guys,
If you've come here to support our previous fund raising efforts for the film REGRET you've come to the right place. HOWEVER the title of the film has been changed to "GIVE" as this title more aptly reflects the message behind the film.

<<SYNOPSIS>>
"GIVE" is a story about a brother and sister who come from the same family yet have completely different upbringings. Ruth the older sister had it all until her dad left her pregnant mum for a younger girl. And Eddie the younger brother was cast into the world without a Dad; and a mum who went mental after giving birth to him.

Same family, different upbringing

<<ABOUT CREW>>
Fat Paul and Short Sam are two childhood friends trying to physically create their imaginary world. Paul once lost 5kg in a month just by cutting soft drink from his diet and Sam fell from a building trying reenact Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins. Put the two together and they become FATSHORT, a covetable duo. At Marine Productions, Sam is the content video director and Paul is the producer but they are striving towards their goal – to be filmmakers. Although comedians by day, behind the camera they like to get in touch with their manly sensitive side and have worked hard to create a drama with suspense and mystery. ‘REGRET’ is the dream project that they have been steadily working towards for the past two years.

<<PURPOSE>>
We will begin by targeting numerous Australian Film Festivals and we hope to gain recognition in the short film scene which could eventually lead to 'Feature Film' opportunities.
This film will also be submitted into as many film festivals as possible, which is another reason for the funds as these 'Festivals' charge film makers entry fees for submission. We have an account with an online film makers database (withoutabox.com), which gives us access to over 5000 film festivals across 6 continents.

The Challenges

<<RISKS>>
We run the risk of not creating the greatest short film ever conceived if funds aren't available :) Other than that, most risks have been covered by our experienced team of professionals. Some of our crew have played key roles on films such as "The Wolverine" and "The Great Gatsby". So we pretty much have most holes covered. (We also have the favour of God upon us^^)

<<CHALLENGES>>
The only obstacle between the project and its success is the funding and support. Plan 'B' is to have investors outside of the Pozible campaign. By investors we mean our parents wallets :)
