First indigenous sci-fi film penned and produced by M&C Saatchi staffer
A new Australian film project, written and produced by Josh Bryer, creative group head at M&C Saatchi, is to be the world’s first Indigenous sci-fi film.
Using crowd funding platform Indiegogo, Bryer with director Oscar Nicholson is running a campaign to raise $20,000 for the short film Kindred. The film’s current investment balance sits at $4,638.
The story is based on a Dreamtime story by the Worora tribe of Western Australia who tell the story of the Wandjina, a tribe that ‘came down from the sky in boats and created the world.’
I like it.
What a great idea
I also like it. And the writer. I like him too.
Good idea. Like it. Hope they get the funds…
Thanks a million guys!
Nicky: I like you too.
All: there are sponsored drinks for donators so feel free to chip in then come and drink your cash back and then some on June 22 on set!
So let’s all get behind it. He’s a quarter of the way towards raising the $20,000.
For the price of a cinema ticket, you can invest in Kindred and get a ticket to the opening night. I know because I did!
Cheers for the props everyone! Josh has written an incredible script, can’t wait to make it.
Well done Oscar & Co – knowing your tenacity and creativity, the end result will be great! Good luck
Special thanks to Colin, who wrote this article; and Matt Porter the PR guy at M&C who arranged it…
