Dear Sir/Madam
I came across your email address as I am looking to contact people with a passion and interest for haiku, Japanese culture and arts. We are in the process of completing a short Japanese haiku film staring the renowned actor Yoshi Oida and we are eager to gather support for the film from individuals, businesses and organisations.
I am currently assisting a Producer at an independent production company called Stampede on a short Japanese film, 'From Basho'. The short film is based on Matsuo Basho, a legendary Japanese haiku poet, who I am sure you are familiar with and one of his thought-provoking tales. The film was shot in the Scottish highlands (to keep within our budget, whilst still greatly resembling eighteenth century rural Japan ) in 2days and was largely financed by the talented writer/director, Babak Gray.
Please view a short 2-minute clip of the film at the following link:
http://www.vitalmedia.co.uk/frombasho/
[please note that currently there is only a Japanese voice over; English subtitles will be included in the final edit].
The film has already received much interest from independent cinemas, a Japanese Broadcaster and airline - all who are keen to view our completed film with an interest to screen.
We are now at the stage of seeking completion funds for the film, as funding for editing and processing of the final film for screening still needs to be gathered. We are approaching various businesses and organisations for support, starting from $25 contributions and in return, we can offer a DVD of the completed film to show our huge appreciation. We are even offering a film credit for individuals/organisations in the form of "this film was made possible with the kind support of..." or Associate Producer credits, which can be used to promote your business, organisation or group.
Please view our funding site, where you can learn more about 'From Basho' and also help support our film: https://www.fundable.org/groupactions/frombasho.2007-03-20.1585996594
If you are able to help us or want to show interest in supporting our project, please contact me nish@stampede.co.uk or the Producer, Dave Allison: dave@stampede.co.uk - and we will be very happy to answer any questions and read any comments you wish to share on our film.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,
Nishanthi Ganegama
