Genre: Drama/Horror
Duration: Short Film (15 minutes)
Writer/Director: Darren Henderson
Production Company: Red Films
STORY: Desperate to conceive before her window closes, Ellie must hold together her relationship and her nerves as Tom's demanding job keeps pulling him away. But as unsettling rumours ripple quietly through the city, something other than doubt may already be inside her home.
CONCEPTION starts as a drama about the invisible pressure of trying to conceive and the uneven weight it puts on a relationship - then takes a turn nobody sees coming, into horror/sci-fi territory. Trust, and how fragile it can be with the person closest to you, sits at the heart of it.
Can you become a part of our team and help us finish funding our short drama/horror film, CONCEPTION?
We're in pre-production now, gearing up to shoot. We have amazing cast and crew investing their time to this film. We have all camera and sound kit available to us free of charge, thanks to Lancaster University.
However, production design and cast/crew travel costs pushed us slightly past our original budget. Instead of a big campaign, we're asking the people who already know us and believe in us as a team to help us close a small £600 gap so we can shoot the film properly.
What you can get as a thank you, if you wish:
£10 - your name in the credits
£30 - name in credits + poster + script + invite to the online premiere
£250 - Executive Producer credit + all of the above
Every contribution gets us closer to set. Thank you for being part of it!
