Some cold hearted fathers, night changing hallways, a babysitter that will have to do anything to survive through the night and a kid with a special diet.
These are the ingredients of 'Sitter', the next horror shortfilm directed by Santiago 'Pistachín' Arcos.
Sitter is a horror shortfilm with a little bit of suspense, it pretends to play with viewer's imagination to make them stuck to their seat. The surprise will come not only from the classic but iconic horror film jump scares, but also from a music, the way of treating every shot and a script that will make the viewers create the horror in their minds, and not just with what they're shown on the screen. The cinematography style is inspired by the modern horror films and series (from 'The Haunting of Hill House' to 'Babadook', and many other horror films from this century), but also with a slight personal touch, being influenced by other genres such as the aforementioned suspense, action or drama.
About your Reward
Here go some details about each one of them.
First one, to be credited. You'll be mentioned in them (full name or nickname) in the 'PATRONS' section.
Online access will be given in October, by the time when the Sitges Film Festival starts.
The DVD with the shortfilm will be sent to wherever you ask on the same dates.
The Poster will be sent with the DVD, it'll be the same one you see here.
Your t-shirt will be sent with the DVD and Poster, with the same design. It'll be a speacial one, different from the ones to be sold, since yours will have the word 'MECENAS' in the back, as a thanks to your collaboration.
The 2 ticket invitation to the premiere is for a private projection, that will be done before anything is sent, in the city of Barcelona (Spain).
The invitation to the party after shooting is only for the patron.
Online early access to the shortfilm will be given as soon as the Shortfilm is ready, which will be around August 2019.
The cast and director will sign DVD and Poster.
The Making Of will be included within the same DVD as the shortfilm. It will have pictures and videos of the shooting.
The script will be sent printed in DIN A4 format, ring binded and signed both by director and writer of the short film, with a special dedication to the patron.
The invite to the shooting is for one to choose and set between the Patron and the production staff, only for the patron and in any of both filming locations.
The 'Executive Producer' title it's not only for the credits, but your name will be added also in IMDb (as long as the parton agrees to do so). Given the case that the patron is a private company or an individual with a coporate image, you'll be invited to add your logo to all posters, trailers, credits and anywhere where it might be suit for.
The double invitation for 2019 Sitges Film Festival is tied to the short film being in the 'Official selection' and is for the patron and a companion.
All rewards include (if necessary) the shipping costs in all the Península Ibérica and Illes Balears
How will we use the donations
All the donated money will be used in logistics related to a shooting (transportation, food, filming locations, etc.), to rent any necessary equipment both for decoration as for lights and camera gear.
And due to the special needs of this project, an important part of the money will be used to visual effects, both in shooting set (prothesis, make up, costumes) as for CGI in post-production.
Planed Schedule
Shooting is scheduled to be at the beginning of March, 5 shooting days in tho filming locations in Barcelona (Spain). And post-production will last up until the end of May, so that is ready to be sent to the 2019 Sitges Film Festival.
Some of the rewards are tied to the production schedule, so these ones will be delivered when that schedule allows us todo so.
