objective
The video that you can see is just an example of what we are going to do, as we reach the total amount needed to produce this film. This campaign, despite having a very small amount of the total amount needed for the production of the film, is a fundamental part of this phase of the project. Any support is welcome.
About the author
This film is being produced independently, with the aim of reaching national and international cinemas.
The Author and Director is João Oliveira, his participation in the field of cinema has been developed mainly as Director of Photography, in “Aquarium” and “Stamp” by director Joana Correia Pinto, “Eu&Eu” by Passos Zamith, and “Lulu”, a film by Pedro Anjos, but as he was the creator of this story, he could not fail to embrace the challenge of directing.

He also has experience as a production assistant on “Eu&Eu”, “Razia”, “Solda” and the films “Arquitetura de uma Impossibilidade” a film by Carlos Ruiz Carmona and “Lulu” by director Pedro Anjos.

Appreciation has the logistical support of the Vila Verde City Council, as well as the support of the Parish Council of Dossãos, which from the first moment showed interest in supporting the project.
At this stage of the project there are still several elements of the team to be confirmed and we remain open to new partnerships.
Budget and due dates
Financing objective
We defined 7 thousand euros as the minimum amount for this campaign as it is the amount that we consider acceptable to continue the pre-production of this film. Our ideal goal is 10 thousand euros. However, we know that a film cannot be made with 10 thousand euros, not even in Portugal. This campaign has a value cap that is only 10% of the approximate value we need for the film's production.
We are defining this value as a limit, as it is the minimum amount necessary to be able to cover pre-production expenses. Travel for réperage, historical research, script writing and recording, art direction, props, wardrobe and other production expenses.
You can view the graphical representation of expected expenses during pre-production.
