We cover quite a few filmmakers on BGPS who are looking for money to get their gay-themed movie made on crowdfunding platforms, however few of them have been from our own backyard, the UK. However now one has come along which is indeed British and is hoping to raise £80,000 to get their movie made!
So what’s the movie about? Well here’s what the Kickstarter has to say: ‘Syd is an inspector in the police force and lives a lie. He may have a good job but it’s not really him. He may be married to a successful career woman but that’s not for him either. His mind and life have been taken over by a young black man who he briefly met and now spends his days searching the streets of London trying to find.’
The makers are keen to state though that, ‘This film is not just for gay or niche audiences, it is a film that appeals to anyone who has ever found themselves wanting someone that they may not be able to have. It is a film for anyone who has ever been brave enough to question the life that they have may not be the one they really wanted.’
If the movie can raise its funding, the hope is to shoot the movie this August. So if you’d like to help out this first movie from Portobello Road Films, head over to Kickstarter. and you can find out more on the The Only Colour Is Black website.
