The full story
From Michael Henry: Just to let you know I’ve now begun my unique crowdfunding campaign for our fourth feature film ‘NARCISSIST’. What sets us apart from everyone else trying to raise funds for their indie film is we’re running the campaign through www.michaelhenryfilm.com instead, in order to show you don’t actually need crowdfunding sites to run a successful campaign.
All the details are here
The past twelve months have been the best of my life. A lot has happened – I filmed my third feature film ‘I WORK’, traveled the world, set up the Quandary Productions Filmmaker Support Scheme (soon to become the ‘Artist Support Scheme’ as we are now helping actors, artists, musicians, and comedians, as well as filmmakers), we’ve helped countless people both through the scheme and by supporting charities worldwide, the ‘I WORK’ release was met with hordes of incredible feedback and has received a remarkable following online, and we’re now gearing up for our next (fourth) feature film over the next couple of months.
2009 graduate Michael Henry is an independent filmmaker and founder of Quandary Productions. He says ‘we believe that there is nothing stopping you from making a film, only yourself. Write a story, get a camera, and shoot!” Michael practices what he preaches and his latest film ‘I WORK‘ will be released on 1st August on DVD and On Demand.
