Public 'Thank you!'

Thanks and welcome aboard, you’re officially part of making this project happen! Every dollar counts. In fact, we’ve calculated that if around half of our friends gave $5 each we’d reach our goal! To mark this special occasion we’ll put a personalised thank you on Facebook so that everyone can see what a generous person you are!

Name in credits!

Congratulations and thanks! You’ve just helped us to purchase and hire essential props and costumes for our cast. Not only will you get a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that you’ve helped make this project happen, we’ll give you a big thank you on Facebook and your name will appear in the film credits as a crowdfunding supporter!

Personalised letter!

That was really generous of you, thank you! Your contribution means that one of our actors will have makeup for a day. They’ll be forever grateful to you that they don’t need to spend ten years living as a merchant sailor to play this role convincingly! In addition to all of the above you will receive a personalised letter of thank you from members of the cast and crew.

Wow, now you’re really impressing us. Thank you! You’ve just helped us lock in an operations crew for the most essential location of the shoot - the boat! Without trained crew and operations support, our excellent boat would be entirely useless to us. To show our deep gratitude, in addition to all of the above you will receive a digital download of the film upon release.

Original still!

This just keeps getting better. Philanthropy is your thing isn’t it? Well, you can be satisfied knowing that you’ve just contributed to the hiring of our most important prop for one day: the longboat! In addition to all of the above, you will receive a printed 8” x 10” original still of the film upon release.

Credit, script & letter!

May the bird of paradise sprinkle many sunflower seeds on your fruit salad. I hope you can hear our screams of excitement through your screen. We’re probably crying a bit, too. In addition to all of the above, you will receive a major crowdfunding sponsor credit in the film and if you’re a business we can feature your logo in this credit. You will also receive a printed and bound copy of the award winning script along with a personal letter from writer/director Tess Hutson.

Sponsorship

If you’re a business and interested in sponsoring us, let’s talk! We are open to discuss tailoring a sponsorship pack that floats your boat (we are allowed a second pun, right?)
