Greenlit, the UK’s only crowdfunding platform dedicated to supporting film projects, has relaunched with a new global online hub, Greenlit.com (formerly Greenlit.fund).
New projects include Moustache Man (Mark Gatiss, Mandeep Dhillon), Breanna Box’s true crime gangster documentary Turn Around, and a host of others, including the return of previous success story Getting Away With Murder(s).
At only 18 months old, Greenlit.com‘s talent for getting filmmaker’s passion projects off the ground is clear, with 80% of clients realising their funding goals. Some brilliant films that were given a leg up by Greenlit include the SXSW and BIFA shortlisted hit Nike Air Jordan documentary, One Man and His Shoes (currently on BBC iPlayer), Parkinson’s disease comedy-drama Ecstasy, and ground-breaking sex-worker documentary Beyond The Red Light
Greenlit.com now looks ahead to Sean J. Young’s comedy short film, Moustache Man, starring Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, Sherlock). The film follows a boy taking care of his grieving mother after the passing of his father. He thinks maybe the best way to make things better is to become his father, so he obviously grows a moustache!After smashing its initial targets in mere hours,the team is expanding their horizons with new fundraising goals. When speaking of Director Sean J. Young, Gatiss said, “He’s a fantastic talent, a very funny guy and a sweet, kind soul.” He says about the film, “It’s a terrific, funny and very moving script.”
