Battle For Britain

In summer 2011, we launched a Kickstarter Campaign so we can order a beautiful 35mm print of "Battle for Britain" and to help us bring the film to more festivals. Thanks to the generous support from 91 backers from all over the world, we reached the $7,500 goal, surpassed it even:

The campaign has already allowed us to take the film to Palm Springs, New York City, Los Angeles and beyond.

And we have now also become eligible for a 2012 BAFTA Award. Not bad, we think, for an independent film that was made entirely without any public funding or subsidies, and by a first time film director, no less.

Thanks to our Kickstarter backers, the film, shot on glorious 35mm, will finally receive a 35mm theatrical print. Audiences for years to come will now be able to enjoy the film as it was always intended to be seen.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who gave so generously in this campaign. We have already sent DVD's to all backers (please contact us if you haven't already received yours), and be in touch with back much more in 2012.

Here is the full list of our backers, organised by Pledge Category. If your name has been left out, please let us know.
