The Story of 'Daddy's Little Girl'
From
controversial Australian Writer/Director Chris Sun comes Daddy’s Little Girl; a story about a single father, his bond with
his six year old daughter, and his response to the most heinous of crimes committed by someone he thought he could trust.
As
humans, we don't always agree on fair punishment for guilty child abuse
offenders. Some believe in prison and others in vengeance; justice or revenge. Daddy’s Little Girl
asks the question, if you had the choice, what would you do?
Set
to be the most talked about film of 2012, Daddy's Little Girl is based on
actual events and is a must see for any parent.
In
absolute contrast to his previous film, Come
and Get Me, this film has a powerful and realistic script backed by an
experienced team of Queensland film makers dedicated to telling it.
Child Abuse in Australia
From Chris Sun
Throughout
history in Australia there have been many cases of Paedophilia, child abduction
and murder. A lot of these cases go unsolved or the perpetrator is given a jail sentence comparable to some repeat traffic offenders - and is released after only a couple of years. In this country, such convicted criminals could be living just up the road from you, protected by Australian law.
Daddy’s
Little Girl is a touching story about some of these cases from the Sunshine Coast
and I wanted to share with the world that this problem needs to stop. Daddy’s
Little Girl also talks about single parenting in Australia and how it is now
more common today than twenty years ago.
Daddy’s
Little Girl is based on actual events. We touch base on the stories’ of Sian Kingi, Leanne Oliver, Patricia Leedie
and Daniel Morcombe to name a few.
Although all names and what exactly happened to these children have been
changed, locals will certainly know to whom we are referring to throughout the film.
Research
shows that around 80% of attacks against children worldwide come from either someone the child knows
or a family member. This is an outstanding figure; when we always tell our children
about ‘stranger danger,’ but consider; how many times have you, as a parent,
told your son or daughter to give a friend a kiss good night even though they
didn’t want to. “Come and give Uncle
Tony a kiss goodnight,” as you sit at the family barbeque. All parents have
seen this situation but the question remains; how well do we really know Uncle Tony? The last thing families need is unnecessary mistrust, but the statistics speak for themselves.
Daddy’s
Little Girl will not only open eyes to what is happening around Australia but
will divide our nation with the outcome. Some of us believe in the justice
system and others believe in... well, you can work it out. Although this is an
independent film we will make waves all over the world with the
most powerful film to come out of Australia in recent years.
Please
take the time to read everything we have in this sponsorship proposal and help
us tell this amazing story. We really need your help to make this production a
success and turn our script into an amazing feature film; and all right here on
the Sunshine Coast. Most Aussie Film makers head to America to make their dream
come truebut the Slaughter FX team are proud Aussie’s and we have an Aussie
Story that needs to be told in Australia!
What we've accomplished so far!
To date, Daddy's Little Girl has raised $79,000 toward the production of the film that has already covered:
Steve Boyle - Special Effects Artist Extraordinaire.
Already smashing out the props for the final scenes of the film!
Location Sound Recording Equipment Package
4 track recorders, wireless mics and a boom kit for clear production sound.
Camera Rig and Accessories
All the bells and whistles to make our little 5D the Frankenstein's Monster it needs to be for the rigours of feature production.
Canon 5D Mk II
If the RED was Batman, then this humble stills camera would be Robin. The indie film makers first contact point in the world of cinematic feeling films.
Lighting Kit
A ton of lights so we're never for want of extra illumination - so bright you could light through a wall! Maybe even two...
Above the line Costs
Development ain't free, and even though you can tap out a script in your basement - you can't have it printed distributed, wheel and deal with folks and raise funds without burning through some coin.
How your contribution will help!
Even though we've done pretty well (by our standards) so far, we still have the final $25,000 to go before we've hit the mark! With pre-production in it's final days, we're running out of time to raise these funds as more and more work is required to actually make the film. We start shooting on February 6 on the Sunshine Coast and we NEED YOUR HELP to step this film up from simply being shot, to being shot beautifully. This will be the difference between a good film, and a great film. The difference between festival entrance, and walking away with Best Picture.
For every contribution we're offering significant rewards and perks from signed posters to genuine SFX props, costumes and paraphernalia from the film to props that are currently for sale! Entries into prize draws, opportunities to be in the film as well as publicity and marketing perks for businesses and business owners.

Prop Pool Tables

$1,100
|
These pool tables are for the final scenes of the film, even though we can't say how they'll be used in the film - we can say that they are intricate to the plot, will be worked on by the best Special FX Artist in the country and that the first person/s or sponsor us the cash for them will get to take one of them home!
|
|
Make Up

|
Lenses, Grip and Lighting
|
$3,000
|
We have the camera, we have the rig, we have the lights, what we lack are all the bits and pieces that move , clamp, lock, and look with these tools. This cash will help us secure an awesome lens kit as well as grip equipment for camera and lighting.
|
|
Props & Wardrobe

$2,000
