We’re a group of hungry film students looking to create something that’s truly unique. It’s our final year and it’s the last time we’ll be working together for at least the next few years. We want to be able to look back and say. ‘This is where it all started!’.
Please take a look at our blog to find more about the finer details of our project! Its cast and crew! And to keep track of the production of ‘Behind The Big Top’ and how your donation is contributing towards its success!

How can you help?
To make Behind the Big top happen we need your help to complete our budget. With your donations, we will shoot in April 2012 and be complete by June 2012 please get involved and support independent cinema!
Crowd funding is a unique funding opportunity (small amounts of money from a lot of people) but, more than that, it puts filmmakers back in control by incentivising funding for short film projects.
We already have a chunk of our budget already, but we are hoping to raise another £4,000 (about $6,200) Please take the time to look at our rewards, we have some unique and exclusive opportunities to offer!
