'The Bus Knight' will be an urban but mythic story -- a warrior showdown in the heart of an Australian city. With a gritty city backdrop, strange and outlandish characters and stylistic comedy, it's a bit like a Kurosawa film smashed together with Danny Boyle's Trainspotting.

With incredibly helpful support from Screen Queensland's RAW Nerve initiative we've managed to secure some preliminary funds and resources to help shoot this film. As part of our development as filmmakers we're raising the rest of the budget ourselves through fundraising events and online.
Because of the original story's massive online popularity, we know there is a strong audience out there waiting for this film to be made. After all, who doesn't like to see a bit of social vigilante justice now and again?

How The Funds Will Be Used
To do this, we will need to rent:
- Camera equipment
- Sound equipment
- A lighting truck
- Gripping supplies
Plus we'll have to pay for the production design like props and costumes, as well as location fees -- which is pretty much just hiring a bus for 2 or 3 days. We've also got to pay for catering for all the crew, cast and the 10-20 extras. All of these people will be working for free or very little in the way of actual payment, so we've got to have good food. After all, a crew shoots on its stomach!
