Hello everyone,
My name is Jack Felson, I'm basically an author (novelist, screenwriter, playwright), and a film producer/director, with about ten amazon writing credits. In 2017 I managed to direct a first effort, 'The Chased', a no-budget, found-footage style feature film which is more a concept on film than a real film.
We are looking for experienced producers with good financial connections for a feature film project called "The DIAMOND Tree".
The story evolves around a British female jeweller who goes to Africa after suffering a robbery, with the idea of finding a diamond source to exploit. A short time after her arrival in Lagos, Nigeria, she hears about legendary trees growing diamonds as fruits... and decides to go for it, even after been told that such trees are just a myth, that they don't exist. She manages to discover such a tree, somewhere in the forest, and an unusual adventure starts for her as the place she finds is not exactly Wonderland.
"The Diamond Tree" is a thriller with no real antagonist, mixing drama, action, adventure and fantasy. The script is completed, now we need to get this project off the ground. We also have a package - treatment, budget, shooting schedule, business plan proposal - along with the script. The only things we're looking for are the right people for it.
A first budget estimation for the project is around £2,5M, for a 3/4-week shooting that should mostly take place in the UK. The producer gig should be paid around £55,000 - if of course the project gets financing FIRST and is completed. If things go smoothly and funding gets secured, we might hire rising star Yvonne Starhovski (Dexter, The Handmaid's Tale) and veteran Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others, 28 Days Later, Dr. Who) for the main characters.
The project is very serious so jokers and spammers please stay away. Let's make a film! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
