As a compulsive obsessive film maker and writer This project is a followup to my previous film "Order Of Evil" but much more ambitious its been on the back burner for a few years . The intrigue deception and drama of the 13th century, knights, an evil Abbot, an evil monk of the warrior class from the Order Of The Wolf, the hunt for the "True Cross" a relic of the cross Christ was crucified on, it is believed it brings great power and wealth to those who possess it and the army who marches before it will be invincible. (short period drama)
Middle Ages drama requires authentic wardrobe and locations, the funds if successful will be used in the production of costumes and to secure locations and catering remaining funds will be paid to the actors and crew the project is partly self funded the Pozible funds represent about 50% of the budget. Estimates of the budget, Based on hire of 6 locations over 6 shooting days with the following breakdown .Locations Hire $1500.00, Wardrobe manufacture $1200.00. Catering $800 .00. Make up $600.00, Audio Recording with pro gear $1000.00, Travel and out of pocket expenses $600.00 (Cast and Crew of 12) Production Equipment Sony FS 700 with Convergent Design 7Q in 4k format ,on set lighting, grip, $2700.00 ,my,contribution to the budget is approx 50% as I intend to cover all other expenses.
The main obstacles with low ( period film ) production budgets are numerous ,costume and locations, costumes are fifty % complete and the prime locations have been secured an authentic winery and Middle Ages Church which is as close in architecture to that period as I have found in Victoria.
