Film has $15,000 target
A LOCAL creative team is crowdfunding their feature film ‘The Feast in the Forest’, set to shoot across Cairns next month, with just 10 days left to reach their $15,000 Kickstarter goal.
Producer James Underhill, working with his small but passionate team under the banner Spireset, says the film blends horror, coming-of-age and drama into a single cinematic experience.
“We aim to take full advantage of some of the stunning scenery around Cairns,” he said.
According to the Kickstarter campaign, the funds will support the cast and crew over the multi-week shoot and potentially expand the budget to include specialist safety gear and skills, crucial for the production’s more ambitious scenes.
The team is also planning to collaborate with Cairns’ tourism businesses to feature local activities on-screen, promising fresh exposure for regional operators.
Community support will not only help the production proceed but also showcase Cairns’ unparalleled landscapes from lush rainforest to coastal backdrops.
Mr Underhill and the Spireset team was hopeful local audiences would rally behind them.
