PLOT SUMMARY:

Hogan Vale, Victoria. 1983. A young boy named Aiden Worthington wakes up a teenager. Surrounded by filthy remnants of what looked to be a turbulent party, at that moment Aiden unconsciously throws away his boyhood and takes a deep plunge into the wild teenage world. Aiden’s first few hours as a teen take him on an adventurous ride of smoking weed for the first time and shooting a pig to impress his new High School peers. The drama doesn’t stop there, as Aiden must now face his shameless family BBQ and experience the rude awakening of his family’s humiliating behaviour and face the fact that no one ever remembers his birthday. An unexpected guests shakes up Christmas plans at the Worthington residence and Aiden is in for a pleasant surprise, finally getting the acknowledgment he deserves.

Where will the money go???

The money raised will go towards post-production funding such as: processing, telecine, grade and a professional sound designer for the film. With film being the most expensive cost in the budget your amazing help and contribution will ensure that V for Vienetta will see the light of day, in all its flickering filmic glory!! Ensuring that it is of the highest quality to submit to the local and international film festival circuit.

Just think If everyone contributes whatever they can (weather that be $5 +++)  then the goal amount can be raised! Any contribution will be much appreciated. Your name will also appear in the film credits meaning you can now be immortalised forever!

Love & Thanks  Xx
