The Production CONLANG is a low-budget student film. But despite our size, we the filmmakers have high hopes and great ambition for the project. We've spent the past 6 months developing the script, with invaluable input from both our professors at Columbia University and actual conlangers. The result is a short film that will appeal to seasoned conlangers as well as the general public who may even never have heard of the word "conlang" before. After all, Carl's quest for love knows no language barriers. Principal photography is set to take place in River Edge, NJ this summer. Conlang will be shot on a Sony EX-1 HD camcorder for optimum picture quality. Estimated running time is 12-15 minutes. The finished product will be ready by October 2008. The Fundraiser Swandive Films, Inc., the production company behind CONLANG, has started a fundraiser for the project. Our goal is to raise $4,000 for expenses related to transportation, equipment, props, set design, costumes, craft services, editing, sound design and music composition. The entire crew and cast is donating their time and energy. There are two ways to donate! 1. Click on: http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=162197 And make your donation using a credit card through a secure, online company. This is not a tax deductible donation but is a fast, convenient way to help out if you so desire! OR 2. Make a tax deductible donation through IFP (Independent Feature Project), our Fiscal Sponsor (www.ifp.org). Because our fiscal sponsorship is not set up to receive donations online, you would need to contact Swandive Films (mam@swandivefilms.com) to receive the form needed, then simply mail the check to us, and we will forward it to IFP. IFP will send all donors a thank you letter once the donation is received, which acknowledges your tax-deductible donation. Having to transport the cast and crew out to New Jersey for up to 6 days along with set design, costumes and specialty equipment, really adds up. Any amount is welcome, every dollar counts. By donating different amounts, donors can guarantee themselves a certain title in the films credits, according to the following steps: $25 Friend $50 Sponsor $100-499 Patron $500-999 IMDb Producer Credit: Associate Producer $1000 or more IMDb Producer Credit: Executive Producer Note that this is not an investment in the production, but simply a charitable donation to the project. In addition, any donation guarantees the donor a DVD copy of the film upon its completion. Patron donors and above will also receive an Autographed Photo of the entire Cast as a token of our appreciation. About the Film Conlang (short for "constructed language") is a universal story set in the unique world of conlanging. A comedy about secret crushes, extreme linguistics and the language of love, it tells the story of Carl, 26, an unemployed conlang enthusiast. Even though Carl has no trouble creating new languages, he has a hard time finding the words to express his feelings to Libby, his secret crush. One day, Carl has a chance of becoming president of the Constructed Language Society, a club of people joined by their passion for invented languages. But between battling for the presidency and perfecting on his own conlang, will he be able to share his true feelings with the girl he adores? Again, thank you SO MUCH for your generous support. Many of you have already donated your time, energy, expertise, and even props to help us bring this film to fruition. The Cast and Crew is looking forward to sharing our film with all of you in the near future!
