What do you want to achieve with the funding?

We are now looking to enhance the documentary to make it meet professional standards: add an introduction/conclusion/transitions, add music and images, technically enhance editing, clean and mix the song, translate and add subtitles, meet format requirements, etc.

How will the funding be used?

The funding will be used for:

1. Post-production: purchasing licensed images and music, improving technical editing to meet professional standards, improving the quality of the song and mixing with music, correcting color footage, adding english subtitles, translating to other langages (depending on budget), and other enhancements;
2. Communication: creating documentary cover images and logo, designing multimedia presentations, preparing the press kit, designing the film web page; etc.;
3. Distribution: producing the trailer and pilot, organizing social media campaigns, affording distribution specialists fees, etc.
4. Other mandatory administrative needs

How has the documentary been funded so far?

So far, we self-funded the production independently with minimal resources. 

What is the overall fundraise target?

We target to raise around 30,000 euros from donors and sponsors.

Are donations tax-deductible?

How can we know how the funds have been used?

Captain Forest commits to financial transparency with donors and sponsors by sharing a financial report that shows how the funds have been used to address the four needs: enhance post-production, create communication materials, cover distribution costs, and meet administrative imperatives.

Can we be informed about the impact of the documentary?
