Welcome to the official site for The Great Vote, a marketing and fund generation site for a new feature film by Martin Doyle and Noel Flores-Watson.
Why should I donate?
•Appear in the film!
The first 30 people to donate £30 or more will have the choice of APPEARING IN THE FILM! In these support artist roles your face will be recognisable and you will be doing more than just walking around/standing in the background!
•We will give the money raised on to another filmmaker when finished!
All money raised under donation of this site will go into a film production pot. This pot will be paid back if/when our film is sold (in the same way a soft grant is paid back). We will then hold a competition for another first time feature maker to make another film. We will also be encouraging investors to help this fund to produce other filmmakers work.
•Rewards for big donations!
There are many benefits to donating including 3 reward levels for bigger donars including DVD/Blu Ray copies of the feature and of the webseries, set visits and film credits amongst other rewards. Check them out here.
•Competitions!
The film will be a platform for other British filmmakers to be noticed and give them a slot on the big screen in and before screenings of our film (details to come)
•Careers!
This film will help the careers of many actors and technicians. For many this will their first feature film or the next step in their careers.
•The Film!
This will be a unqiue film with a great concept and plot (full details will be revealed)
If you enjoy our webseries, you can show your appreciation by sending us a small donation, even if only £1. We want another strong and accessible UK feature in the global film market, from a new British writer director. Its going to be an excellent movie!
I want to be an investor, more information please!
Of course! To people who wish to invest we have the full script and business plan for you to read (under a non-disclosure agreement)
We require a minimum of £5000 for someone to be an investor with a Co-producer Credit
Please fill out the request form (including proof of business and signed Non Disclosure Agreement)
DONATIONS website donation target £35,000
The total budget for The Great Vote to get the feature to market (festivals, prints etc) is £250k. We will be generating using various funding paths. One of the paths is website donation.
The script was started back in 2006 and we are energised to shoot it. It is our absolute aim to get this film into the cinema, but in the current financial climate we know the full budget is very ambitious for a debut feature (more so than usual!).
Over the next 6 months we will be bringing you more web series content, competitions and extra stuff to make that happen, but we have devised three funding models to get our film made. If we raise a minimum of £35k on this site, we can make the film or a guerrilla basis. We also have other funding models to support full film funding.
