Funding sought for Astrological Film by Adel Ather
|
|
I'm looking to a develop a film that promotes the ideas of Eastern Spirituality, particularly Astrology. The film is going to be titled the "Astrological Voyager". While the film is an entertaining drama, it's meant to help instigate and promote the ideas of Eastern Astrology. Currently, the film is in a pre-production stage, with the financing for the project being raised. The film will be filmed in Toronto, Ontario Canada during mid 2004. My other body of work includes developing Action Martial Art films - which will also be an integral part of the film. My reason for writing this is in order for the film to be realised - it needs financing. I have applied to other film funding institutions for the project, but the assistance of any will help. I'm trying to raise a fund amongst the Astrological community to help donate to the project. Any amount is appreciated in the realization of the film; as it does not require a massive budget comparatively (to other films) to be realised. This includes donations from up to $50 to $1000. And any donations can be written off on your taxes as a 'charity' - giving your organisation an opportunity for a tax break. My latest film had been developed on a very low budget yet maintained professional quality. In addition I'm looking for interested sponsors from astrological associations. The funding assistance could include advertising of their association on the DVD copy of the film. In addition speakers from that particular association could be filmed to speak about Astrology. This could be added to the additional features of the DVD. While the DVD market is one of the avenues for the film to be distributed, it will also be played at film festivals. A 15 min short version of the film (The original will be 93 minutes) will also be created for Internet Distribution. This is to entice viewers to acquire the full version. To interested affiliate partners of the project, a full script and treatment is available for discussion. Collectively we can raise the true awareness of Astrology and bring it back into our social respectability beyond the awareness of "Sun sign horoscopes". Many do not understand our beloved art, and we owe it to ourselves to present its beauty to others. Unfortunately in today's intellectually lazy society where we want fast answers, the 'surface level' medias catch peoples attention. This is one reason for Sun Sign newspaper popularity, as it is easily digestible and understandable. Therefore a dramatic film will help to spark interest to others whom have a vague understanding of the art - and in the right direction. If you are interested in partnering with the project please contact me at by email here CLICK HERE FOR TYPHON FILM PRODUCTIONS WEBSITE SYNOPSIS OF THE ASTROLOGICAL VOYAGER The journey of Apollo - a counselling Astrologer. Upon meditation one day, Apollo is whisked off into a dream world that is a creation of his own mind. Within the dream world, he meets other Astrological Symbols and gods which represent his own inner stability and unity. Combined with Fast Paced Martial Arts action and comedy, the "Astrological Voyager" provides for an entertaining film. Apollo tries to bring peace to the differing gods, resolving their inherent tension amongst each other. |
