Sheean launches crowd funding campaign

Berlin-based Australian writer/director Eron Sheean has launched a crowd funding campaign to finance his feature Errors of the Human Body, which will be distributed by Curious Film.

Sheaan’s goal is to raise U$25,000 and so far has been backed by 42 people with U$7,610. The Kickstarter pledge has 34 days to go.

Sheean’s shorts – including 2005’s Fish – have screened at festivals such as Berlin and Melbourne, where he won the Emerging Australian Filmmaker award. He was also nominated for an award at the Sydney Film Festival.

Errors of the Human Body is a film “about one man’s quest for redemption from his own disturbing past, set within the mysterious world of genetic engineering”. It’s been developed during Sheean’s time as an artist-in-resident at the Max Planck  Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany.
