Our good friend Lango Fett has alerted me to a message from Nick
Hallam, the Director/Writer/Producer of the fan film Broken
Allegiance.
A
message from Nick Hallam
Re: Potential Broken Allegiance Prequel/Sequel
Ever since Broken Allegiance went online in April of 2002, I have
received emails on a constant basis from people asking for a sequel.
Due to the enormous budget spent on the first film, and the huge
amount of time required to get the film made, I never considered a
sequel viable, which is sad. The good times that the cast and crew
enjoyed during production are more than reason enough to do it
again. But the financial flexibility to allow for it has never been
there.
When the first Broken Allegiance was made, there was no reputation
at stake. Online, we were coming from nowhere. This time around,
there are definite expectations. We made what many considered a
fantastic short and people will be wanting to see more of that. In
order for that to be a possibility, we are turning to you, our
friends, family, and fans, for help.
After doing some intense calculations, it was realized that $7500 US
would be needed to make the sequel we think Broken Allegiance
deserves. This allows for $5000 to begin production and $2500 for
post production. We will do whatever we can to add to this total
ourselves, but a large majority of this number will have to be from
outside sources. If you want to see this happen, PLEASE help in any
way you can. Donations to the budget can be made via PayPal
in US dollars under the email address ba2producers@hotmail.com
and by donating you become a part of the production. You are not
breaking any laws by giving us money, since you are now a part of
the crew and are contributing to the effort, not making us a profit.
Every cent goes into making the film, and we see none of it except
when it comes time to pay the caterer on filming days. There are 4
levels of contribution:
Executive
Producer : $100+
Any person making a donation towards the budget of the proposed
"Broken Allegiance prequel/sequel" of an amount $100 US or
more will receive a prominent credit in the film's main titles as
Executive Producer and hence be entitled to a complimentary VHS or
DVD of the film when completed.
Associate
Producer : $50-$99
Any person making a donation towards the budget of the proposed
"Broken Allegiance prequel/sequel" of an amount $50-$99 US
or more will receive a credit in the film's end titles as Associate
Producer.
Financial
Backer : $10-$49
Any person making a donation towards the budget of the proposed
"Broken Allegiance prequel/sequel" of an amount $10-$49 US
or more will receive a credit in the film's end titles under
Financial Backer.
Thanks to :
$1-$9
Any person making a donation towards the budget of the proposed
"Broken Allegiance prequel/sequel" of an amount $1-$9 US
or more will receive a "Thanks to" credit in the film's
end titles.
Please be clear that this film isn't going to get made without
donations by the fans towards the cause. We are looking to raise the
required budget by July
31st, 2003. If we
do not raise the money we need to complete this project, it will be
abandoned and all donations will be refunded. Please do not take a
passive stance on this issue! Thank you all for reading, and if you
are moved to donate, my infinite gratitude is extended. Cheers!
-Nick
