Project Description

Alicia-Poster
Nothing is as strong as the love between a mother and her child. When her mother dies, Alicia doesn’t know how to live her life anymore. She is just a little girl, all alone in a big, scary world!
Alicia is alone, lost in a forest full of voices and presences. Moments from her life and her past appear around her, engage her, scare her. As she tries to find her way through this confusing world, she falls and hits her head.
When she wakes up, she finds herself in a cabin, where she meets a man named Pam. Pam has a collection of children’s shoes, he talks funnily and he seems to know a lot about Alicia. She doesn’t know where to go or what to think. Is Pam dangerous, or is he just as lost and lonely as her? Is he going to harm her, or can he help her find her way back  to life?
Inspired by films such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” or “The Fall“, we will take you to an enchanted forest, where anything could happen. Take a deep breath and follow us into the world of “Alicia”
This is a story which makes us consider our own hidden sadness and the everyday struggles of our individual human experience. We might not have seen our own mother die, but we all hide some sad stories that the rest of the world can’t see. “Alicia” is a story about letting go of what holds us back.
This story is brought to you by the makers of “Friend or Foe”.

We are a core team of film makers who seek to express our creativity and love for film. We don’t make films in order to make money or to promote ourselves, we make films in order to share our passion, to speak from the heart and to touch and move the audiences out there. Our films speak of the things we often are to shy to speak about in words. Our films speak of the things that you don’t dare to mention, because you are not sure anybody would understand. Our films reach out to you, so that one day we might all find the courage to speak from the soul.

Project FAQ

When will "Alicia" be filmed?
"Alicia" will be filmed in late June, one scene in September.

How long will it take until the film is ready?
The editing will take approximately 6 months, that includes colour grading and music composition.

How long until we get to see the film?
That depends! Once it is ready, the film will be sent to a number of international film festivals. Since some of those wish the screening there to be the film's premiere, we won't show it publicly before. If you choose to donate €50, you will be invited to the cast and crew screening, which will be held in a small setting and where everybody gets to see the finished film together for the first time. If you follow us on facebook, you will be kept up to date about the festival screenings, so that you can go and see the film where ever it is shown on a film festival. Then, when the festival phase is over, we will screen the film publicly in Malta, so if you haven't seen it yet, this will be your chance!

How will the money be distributed?
The Money we are trying to raise is part of the cost of the emotional key scene and climax of the story. Alicia gets to join her lost mother for one last dance, in a surreal ballroom full of strange dancers. There are many costs to this scene, but the following are the things we need your help with:€4,000 - The cost of location for two full days of filming
€1,280 - The cost of 8 background dancers + choreography
