Update #2

Since my last post the production team has been working away on the project, so I thought it was time to write a little update about what we’ve been up to and how we’re doing. I wrote last time about how we’ve started to market the project online, and so far I feel this is going really well. The number of our friends/fans/followers has been growing on our social networking profiles and as well as talking to new friends we’ve also been approached by several people who have offered to directly help the production in one way or another. It feels good to be getting news of the project out there and it’s encouraging to see how people are responding. I’m hoping that the support will continue to grow throughout the film’s production process and that as well as building up our audiences we’ll make some new friends and collaborators along the way.

To help give the project some weight and credibility we’ve been asking established industry people to give us brief quotes about the project that we can use to support it. So far the ones that have come in have been fantastic, and I’ve just added them to the
website (so if you haven’t already, stop by and check them out!). We’ve also added them to the front cover of our production pack, which we have been continuing to refine. We’re now ready to start approaching potential investors with it and we feel good about the package that we’ve put together (if you might be interested in investing in the film, you can request a copy by emailing us at investment*at*lifejustisfilm.com). In addition to getting the pack together, we have also started to make plans for exploring other methods of funding, including, amongst others, product placement and crowdfunding. I’ll be posting more details on these, especially the latter, in the coming weeks. Finally, I am off to the Edinburgh International Film Festival at the weekend and will of course be looking to make contacts and meet potential collaborators and investors while I am there (if anyone reading this is going to the festival and would like to meet up then please feel free to contact me on alex*at*lifejustisfilm.com). Once I’m back I’ll try and post something brief on here about my experiences and I’ll probably also write a more detailed post about my trip over on my personal blog.
