A short film portraying the despair of a researcher long after his last contact with the outside world With a backdrop of some of the worlds most astonishing abandoned buildings, we join the character in an environment no longer inhabitable by man. It is one year after his last contact with the outside world, and the environment is just beginning to show signs of change... LAST CONTACT is in its final stages of production, but its far from finished! Our plan is to use Kickstarter to fund all of the promotion of the film including festival fees, screenings and online advertising. We cant do it alone! An amazing group of very talented people have come together to contribute to this film voluntarily. All flights, travel, site access, Bulgarian bribes, etc. had to come from our own pockets. It wasn’t cheap, because we wanted to give you an adventure and a visual spectacle of incredible unseen sites. We had to go a long way. Now we need your support to take it the extra mile and make sure people actually get to see it! Thanks SO MUCH for your support, were very grateful! Keep up with the progress of the film by liking our facebook page (link on the right). p.s. the making-of documentary is definitely worth a watch, but will ONLY BE AVAILABLE TO OUR KICKSTARTERS!!!! In February this year, we spent 10 days filming in the perilous mountains of Bulgaria, braving -25ºC, lugging camera equipment many kilometres through the 5ft snow, digging 4x4s out of snow drifts, and overcoming all manners of outrageous and hilarious challenges. One of the major challenges whilst filming was keeping the camera functioning - filming out in the elements at such low temperatures meant that ice would form on the camera within minutes of exposing it to the wind. Not only that, but the focus and aperture rings would freeze up, and the LCD screen would become slow and the image would lag. The cold really tested our commitment to the film. It was VERY cold. Some of the locations were not easy to get to, and even more difficult to film in. Our 4x4 didnt make it up to the monument due to 5ft snow, which meant that for almost every day of filming we were carrying our own body weights in equipment about 400m through thick, thick snow. In other locations, we had to win (and bribe) the favour of local Bulgarians in order to get the shots we needed. We met a lot of amazing characters throughout the trip who well never forget. We then spent the last 4 months taking time out of our day jobs to edit and bring the film to where it is now... Help us do it justice and pledge! A lot of this is detailed in the - EXCLUSIVE TO KICKSTARTERS - documentary... get involved to see it!
