Now, "According to Otto", is becoming an independent feature film, shooting in Sydney in January. Created by the same production team behind the multi award winning web series, "After Nightfall", "According to Otto" is a coming of age film with heart.

Otto Brooks is 16 with a massive imagination and a big secret he’s ready to reveal – he’s gay. Otto has the usual family, parents who love and embarrass him, a Uni student sister who wants to change the world, a pop culture loving Nana and a best friend, Max, who he’s secretly in love with. Add to that, a school bully out for a blood and Otto has a lot to go through before he becomes what he really wants, to be out, happy and in love. Time to delve into the world according to Otto.

"We are looking to make the film and then have it seen by as many people as possible. We will be atempting to get distrubition for the film in both Australia and overseas. We are proud of the project we are making and your help will really help us make the best film possible," - Wayne Tunks, Director.

Making a feature film completely independently is an expensive adventure. All money will help with the film, including shooting and post production.

The film has a great fantasy element, where we go into the fantasy life of Otto. This will mean many more locations, costumes and props. We want this to look grand.

Listed are some of the ways the funding will help:

Locations: $2000

Crew: $3000

Catering: $1500

Props / Costumes: $1000

Back Up Drives: $500

Post Production: $3500

These are just some of the many expenses that will arise. So every dollar helps us make the project bigger and better.
