“ON A WINTER NIGHT” CROWDFUND IS LIVE
It all began with a blank page…
An idea was born on a rainy day during the COVID pandemic: “What if two lost souls find each other wandering the empty streets of London, both desperately seeking meaning in their hollow lives?”
Three years later, that seed of inspiration sprouted into Monteverde Pictures, a new film production company dedicated to championing emerging talents within the LGBTQ+ community and amplifying diverse voices while challenging stereotypes in LGBTQ+ representation.
And it brought us here. To “On A Winter Night”. A journey of redemption, resilience, and the enduring power of human connection that transcends the boundaries of a world demanding ambition and self-fulfilment.
We aim to debunk the notion that stories with gay characters can only resonate within a specific community and can't address universal themes or resonate with audiences from all walks of life. It's this ability to convey powerful messages across boundaries that makes our story truly revolutionary.
And now, that once mere idea is on the verge of becoming a reality!
'On a Winter Night' has been in pre-production since last May and is scheduled to be filmed in London in February 2024. So far, with dedication and passion, we have been able to secure a full cast, crew, equipment. We have finalised a shooting schedule and we have found the perfect locations.
As much as we wish they weren’t so, films simply aren’t made on passion alone. As first-time producers working with emerging talents in the LGBTQ+ community, securing the necessary financing needed to transform our vision into a high-quality reality has never been easy.
We are partnering with other companies such as Pagoda Film and City-Eye to bring this story to life, and many distribution companies have expressed their interest in our project-- but they want to see the film first!
So, while we've already laid the foundation for success, surging ahead of many films at this stage, crucial elements that require attention remain, such as better equipment, a bigger crew, marketing, and post-production needs. These elements are pivotal in elevating the film's quality to new heights.
That's why, in our quest to craft an extraordinary cinematic experience, every single donation counts. Your contribution is the driving force behind the pursuit of excellence in making this film the best it can possibly be!
