What is "A law for Christmas" about?

A young and aspiring politician has to leave the city for her career and finds her vocation and true love in the countryside

 

The Mission behind the movie

To introduce people to the true meaning and values of Christmas and to make them think through what at first seems like a superficial love story.

Why we`re making this

When people think of Christmas, gifts, travel and lights are the big themes. However, the most important thing gets lost, the story of Christmas and what really happened. Through a modern Christmas film, we want to share the story of Christmas and that career and making money is not the most important thing.

We can not do it without YOU

Our estimated budget for this project is approximately 50,000-100,000 USD

We will be very transparent and disclose our expenses and costs. It is not surprising that a film costs a lot of money and can not do without sponsors.
To better understand the whole issue, here are the various costs we are facing.

For example, we will pay for all our flights, hotel and transportation ourselves, except for the actors and crew we have to hire.
We are also investing thousands of dollars of our own budget for this, which is far from enough.
For this reason we ask people with a big heart to support us financially to be able to release this film at Christmas.

Cost Overview

Equipment

We have to buy lights for about $4,000 and things around the camera and set for $4,500.
Also decoration will cost about 3500 dollars.

Crew

In addition to actors, we need a crew to perform various tasks, for example: sound, camera, lighting, catering and helpers. This will cost about $11,000

Locations

Our film will not be set in just one location, we need an airfield, an office, a hotel, 2 houses. That will cost about $5,000.

Cast

Of course, we won’t be able to hire Oscar actors, but we want to hire professional actors, especially for the main roles. That will cost about $12,000.

Catering and lodging

Our crew and actors have to be taken care of, of course, and also have to sleep somewhere, as well as flights. That will be 15,000 dollars.

Our achievements so far

Our first film, which had a budget of just €5,000 and was shot in the middle of the first Corona Winter, was a great success. Although even the actors were amateurs, the film was able to convince with a message. Many millions of people have seen the film and a large number of newspapers, blog posts, podcasts and YouTube videos have addressed this film.
Due to the complications of a film production in the middle of a Corona winter, only a limited number of crew members and actors could be offered. Also, this film was shot in only 30 days and was released on January 15, 2021.

First Movie

In january 2021 we published our first feature Film called “2025” which was a hudge success.
