Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself. I am the Producer of "Eating Dust", a fantastic new British feature film set in the world of Speedway racing. The film is a Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels meets Waking Ned and Local Hero, with a bit of Whisky Galore thrown in for good measure.
I don't know if any of you have read our recent interview in Speedway Star.
We love this sport and everything about it, and we feel that it is a diamond in the rough. In Speedway this is a niche sport with amazing on-screen potential.
What other sport has players driving round a huge dirt track oval on a bike with no brakes?? To the average Joe in the street its barking mad, but that's part of the appeal and we are hoping to portray the excitement of the sport to the wider public.
Eating Dust can be used as a vehicle to raise Speedway's profile all over the world. The sport is in desperate need of a shot in the arm, both financially and profile-wise and our film could help to do this. This is why Eating Dust has been fully backed by Speedway Star, BSPA, Sky Sports and BSI as well as other key figures within the sport.
However to get this film on screen we really need the support of you all, the Speedway fans.
We have launched a sponsorship campaign for Speedway fans to sponsor the movie, in return for lots of different benefits, including signed DVDs, merchandise, name appearing in the film credits, set visits, meeting the stars and riders, tickets to the film premiere and even starring in the movie (as an extra or walk on part).
Sponsorship packages start from as little as £25 ($40) and are in three levels, BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD. We are also in discussions with sponsors and companies within the sport to assist and for everyone to work together to make this film happen.
We've had an amazing response so far, with a steady stream of sponsorships coming in, but its just the beginning.
We have a good proportion of the finance already in place, and are looking for the remaining amount to get the green light and go. To put it in perspective, if we get 3,000 fans putting at least £25 in, the financing will be complete and we will be good to go. We need to have the remainder of the budget raised by the end of June or this film will not happen at all.
Together we can get this film onto the big screen and make Speedway huge again.
We've got Nicki Pedersen appearing in the movie, and are talking to some other big Speedway stars...
