'WE ARE MONSTERS' is a truly independent British film with global breakout potential. It is being made on a sensible budget with a tremendous crew, very experienced in making original feature films.
It is a story seen through the eyes of Lorna Thompson, a lonely suburban schoolgirl, who joins a mutant gang of teenagers on a quest to discover their true identities.
They uncover a global conspiracy, which they must find the strength to fight before civilization is destroyed.
This film is epic and deals with themes of universal appeal, such as identity and self-discovery (who we are and where we fit in the world), loyalty, trust and abuse of power. This is one of the most ambitious British films ever to appear on Kickstarter. They have an exciting page-turner of a screenplay, a highly talented crew and a very grounded business plan, forged through strong working relationships with industry professionals which they have built up over many years. They are bringing something fresh and exciting to the big screen and it has real potential to become a break-out success.
They have experience of making major feature films, and last year wrote and produced PANIC BUTTON which was described as the 'Best British Horror in Years' by Ain't It Cool News. The favourite quote of the moment is “Does for the internet what Jaws did for swimming in the sea” from their local film board, Film Agency Wales.
HOW KICKSTARTER FUNDS HELP
The funds we raise on Kickstarter will complete their development finance and allow them to take their business offer out to film financiers, complete with cast and sales projections. In a similar approach to IRON SKY they want to build and involve their audience from the very beginning. With no audience, there seems little point in making a film, and they believe in putting the audience first!

RISKS AND CHALLENGESLearn about accountability on Kickstarter
They've already invested £80,000 of their own money and resources into the development of the film to date through their company Movie Mogul Ltd. There’s no escaping the fact that film-making is an expensive business! As soon as they hit the Kickstarter £100,000 target, they'll be in a position to approach film financiers for the remaining budget (currently estimated at £3m).
It is fair to point out that it is possible that they may become delayed in this process, for a multitude of unforeseen circumstances beyond their control and despite their best endeavours. You should take assurance from the fact that they know how to make a film happen as they did with PANIC BUTTON. The key to success is always momentum, driving the vision forward and finding solutions to all issues that are thrown your way. Without this kind of resilience and resourcefulness, they would never have come so far already.
They believe in clear and worthwhile communications, so whilst they might not be bugging you every five minutes with updates, you will always be the first to know when they have some exciting news, and if we have to make any changes of direction, you will be kept fully informed also.
They cannot make a firm guarantee to you that after a successful £100k raise, They'll 100% be able to secure the full estimated £3m budget. What they can guarantee however, is that as soon as they raise significant funds to make the film, they'll do exactly that, cutting their cloth accordingly, without compromising the vision for the film in any way. Necessity is the mother of all invention, not money. As a team they create, they find solutions and deliver on promises. Their business depends on it!
Embarking upon this journey with them will be a unique, exciting and rewarding experience on many levels, that much they do guarantee!
