"High On Hope - Help Required to Release Film"

[Tilly Tina Tunz]

If you were there in the Eighties, particularly at the Blackburn Acid House parties, then this warrants your attention. "High On Hope" is a film that covers the whole of the Blackburn Warehouse party scene and is a superb historical document of a time when a movement was allowed to carry on unhindered and under the radar, to a point where the gangs, and ultimately the law, moved in.
However, to reach the public domain this film needs YOUR help. The producers of the film have to raise £30,000 to clear the publishing rights for the music featured in the soundtrack to get this film to distribution and release. Now £30,000 seems a lot of money, but think about it. If 3,000 people donated a tenner each that's the job done, there were 10,000 people attended the Nelson party alone back in the day! So do something good for the scene that has brought us so much pleasure over the years, donate £3.00 (less than the price of a pint) and help get this film released into the public domain - Hardcore Uproar, you know the score!

Why the hell would you make a movie knowing ya cant see it through financially.Cant the producers get a bank loan like the rest of us. Every fooker is after money these days,not like were already feeling the pinch ourselfs....Rant over,ive donated a quid.

 

[leaky]

but for a tenner its not just a donation, your buying the DVD, i would say that £10 is a fair price for a DVD these days, especially if its something that means something special to you

If they going Public Domain then why not simply Torrent the thing and get it out there? No offical release so no case perhaps???

 

[Jiglo]

It's a bit of a catch 22 scenario. As much as I wanna see this film, I don't wanna spend £10 knowing it might never get a release.

Ill happily donate when i have a few quid spare.

In the mean time instead of illeagal warehouse raves charging a fiver to get in like back in the day and what the vids all about why not have a few illeagal warehouse viewings charging folk a fiver to watch it authentic

we have been allowed to show it at next years retro-trax festival , we will be supporting this donating at least a £1 from every ticket sold , a full 2 page feature/advert in our festival program...and we will also be asking for donations at each screening throughout the weekend... hopefully raise over £5000 , and raise more awareness about this great film

nice chilling activity for an hour or so inbetween some serious raving

This from Piers...

people thank you very much for donating towards the music costs for High On Hope and your message of support.

As soon as we have cleared the music we will send you a first run DVD and link to watch the film online.

Without your support this film would not have a chance to reach the audience it deserves.

I'll keep you up to date with how we are getting on, Its our hope to have the film out early next year.

This film has been made with little money and a lot of love. Please feel free to spread the love and get others to support High On Hope too.

Thanks again,

Piers
