AUA/PL001	EARTHWIRE PRODUCTIONS Earthwire Productions is a West Auckland (NZ) based family film company. They are looking for individual company support of up to $5,000 to contribute towards the production of an original New Zealand feature film. The overall production budget is $200,000. Journey Of A Story follows the life of William Brown, a fictitious New Zealand serviceman both physically and emotionally damaged by his tour of duty in Europe and time as a prisoner of war during World War II. The early parts of the film are based on actual wartime letters, events and correspondence from Private George Parrish. George was captured in Greece after the bombing of the Hellas and spent time as a POW in Austria. The events, which take place after William's return to New Zealand at the conclusion of the war, are fictional. "We have received letters of endorsement from both the Auckland President of the Royal New Zealand Returned Services Association and from the National President of the Returned and Services League of Australia. We aim to have Journey Of A Story released on ANZAC Day 2011 - a relevant and timely release date for the film, considering its subject and source material. While the lead character is a New Zealander, the film also features an Australian in a key supporting role. Both New Zealand and Australian soldiers feature. There has been a huge increase in interest in ANZAC Day commemorations and the events of the time. The feedback we have had to date is that there are not enough Australasian stories being told in the medium of film. We think we are ideally placed to produce a compelling, interesting story that will not only appeal to Australasian audiences but also further afield. The film is being made on a non-profit basis. We intend to give some of the proceeds to both the NZRSA and the RSL. We have produced a 3 minute 'promo' of a scene from the film, so that you may get an idea for the look and feel of the project. This can be viewed on our website, and is available on DVD format on request. In the meantime, if you would like to find out more about Earthwire Productions and this project in particular, you can visit our website: www.earthwire.co.nz".
