Hi,

I've launched my funding campaign on Indiegogo for my first feature 'Crawford and Oates'.
It started life as a short film which was shot in 1994 and was written by my friend Christopher Atkins.

Since then, we both thought it would work well a feature but drew a blank on how to build on the original story.

Fifteen years later, I decided to return to this project and I wrote a script based on the original short story, but I also wrote about true events which happened to me and my friends over the years.

This film aims to change the rules of your traditional rom-com. Its a rom-com with a bitter twist.
First, there's no stuttering Hugh Grant with a floppy haircut (sorry). Second, I wanted something different to your typical happy joy-joy all loved up ending and kissing in the rain scenaro.

I'm a film-maker who doesn't like your typical predictable storylines as I guess with many film-goers they do tend to bore me.

Also to give the audience a more realistic feel to the film, I'm shooting it as a documentary.

If all goes well, production will begin later this year. :)

Congratulations on beginning your crowdsource campaign for 'Crawford and Oates'.

I'd like to invite you to please share your crowdsourcing experience with the IndieTalk community at its conclusion.
'Crawford and Oates' has been added to the running list.

Thanks Rayw. I'll keep updating the forum about the production throughout.
