I'm flicking through the Offer Document for 'Clear Skin', the UK Film Studio thriller which will star Sean Bean www.ukfs.biz. The minimum shareholding is £2000. Punters have to make their minds up by 15th January.They are aiming to raise £1,500,000 which apparently makes it low budget.
Contrast that with 'The Hunt for Gollum' http://www.thehuntforgollum.com/updates.htm a LOTR fan film made for £3500 and released in May 2009. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. The same group have made another film called 'Born of Hope' http://www.bornofhope.com/Welcome.html which is even better.
Perks of the 'Clean Skin' offer iinclude the opportunities to be an extra for a day and attend the after-show drinks party.
Alternatively I could dress up as an orc and leap around Epping Forest before meeting a timely, well-deserved death and spending an evening in the pub.
If you're a fan of Lord of the Rings, please accept the two fan films as late Christmas presents to enjoy as an alternative to the big-budget TV repeats. I'm sure they would appreciate a little bit of 'investment' too.
So what's it to be, West End glitter or north London mud?
