The Kickstarter campaign is still live! 🚀

We reached our initial target of £5,000 in just one week — thank you again to everyone who’s backed us so far. 💛 But our full budget is £12,000, which means we’re still aiming to raise another £7,000 to deliver the very best version of this film.

This weekend we’re sharing a short clip from the solicitor’s scenes we filmed back in January 2024 — featuring Eliza Butterworth being every bit as formidable as Anna. 🎬✨

👉 If you’ve already pledged, it would mean the world if you could repost or share this campaign.

👉 If you haven’t yet, pledges start at just £2. All backers will be invited to a special Cardiff screening of all three of my short films (if you’re local or can make your way there).

1817: A wealthy young woman's love for a man raised in a religious community is threatened by her violent brother and his devout one.

19/08/2025

Scene 11 of short film Sister Anna completed on Sunday and what a wonderful day it was with a fantastic team.

A wealthy young woman falls in love with a member of a religious community, but their relationship is threatened by each of their brothers - One a devout man of God, the other violent and controlling.

In this scene, Anna and Erich meet secretly in the grounds of her family’s estate, torn between love and looming crisis. Anna vents her fears about William’s fraud and self-destruction, while Erich urges restraint and dreams of escaping together to Pennsylvania. Their tenderness gives way to tension when Anna rejects the idea of marriage, leaving Erich conflicted and heartbroken.
