About

We need a minimum of 4000 € for the making of a fiction short film King Cake (La Galette des Rois).

Pitch: A rich family is celebrating King Cake. There is one portion of the cake left and Quentin, the little boy, decides to give it to the "man from outside".

This bittersweet social comedy deals with the temporary intrusion of a homeless guy in a wealthy family.

The film is produced by Ivan Magrin-Chagnolleau and Blandine Cantineau, from the production company Aloha Entertainment.

It was written by Vinciane Mokry, who graduated from the screenwriting professional master in Paris.

It will be directed by Ivan Magrin-Chagnolleau, who made the short film Party Time!, presented at the short film corner in Cannes 2011 and at the international short film festival of Clermont-Ferrand in 2012.

Ivan has also been directing for stage for the past ten years and regularly plays lead roles on stage and on screen.

This film means a lot to us and we really want to make it in order to be able to share it and generate discussions around the themes of exclusion, precariousness and social hypocrisy. In particular, we intend to do public screenings with Q&As.

 

What are the funds for?

We need this money to fund five days of filming with a crew of 16 people, 4 actors and 4 actresses. The money will be used for renting the sound and filming equipment and for catering and travel expenses.
