Hello,


We are some local filmmakers and we are making a short comedy about warring neighbours, parking spaces and Brexit Britain.


Our film is called 'Huntington Gardens' and centres around three families as they each battle to get the best parking spots on their residential street. It's a film about British values, absurdity and parking spaces.

It's a short film which demonstrates a microcosm of Brexit, the absurdity and misplaced anger, as families from different cultural backgrounds battle it out for superiority on their street.


We have recently been fortunate enough to receive a small amount of funding from Sky Arts for a short film as part of their Arts 50 scheme. They are funding multiple projects across lots of different disciplines around the idea of post-Brexit Britain. Our film will also be shown on the Sky Arts TV channel next year which gives us a great platform to reach a wide audience and spread our message.


However in order to receive our funding from Sky Arts we need to secure the rest of the budget, hence our Kickstarter page. I have put a link to the page below, any help supporting the project or sharing it with others would be much appreciated. We are also offering as one of the rewards the opportunity for us to make a promotional film for you or your business. It's what we do as our day job and are offering it at a highly reduced rate.

Thanks in advance!

During my time in the Army there was a saying that I think really applies to you...


?The service isn?t why it used to be...and it never was!?


You really do yearn for halcyon days that didn?t exist. Sad.

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
