Mad Hatter Films

Welcome to @dogood.studio A new arm to the @madhatter_films family. Whilst MHF will be centred around Narrative Filmmaking. Do Good is focussed on helping Coaches, Mentors and Educators scale their businesses and build their authority through video marketing. Put simply, we help people who help people.

We’ve launched our Australian Cultural Fund! (Link in bio) Pre-Production for Apartment No. 42 is well underway and we’d now like to invite you to be a collaborator in this project with us. Thus far, Apt. No. 42 is a largely self funded project. Whether we reach our funding target or not, we will be making this film. We’ve amassed an incredible team, some of whom we’ve worked with before and some are fresh faces to add to our growing network. But we are currently relying on the goodwill and passion of these incredible creatives. With your contributions we would love to be able to pay our cast and crew for their time, to help cover some of the cost of catering and also in securing some of our locations and permits. All contributors of the film will of course be a part of our team moving forward. Meaning we shall keep you up to date with all of our progress along the way and we will thank you especially in the credits. All donations are 100% tax deductible!

Filmmaking is never the same project to project. It’s been quite the journey thus far. As things twist and turn and things morph and change. We’re at a point where we’re ready to move forward. As our funding continues we’d love you to help us a long our way. Your help means these incredible creatives can get paid for their hard work, and can help ensure this is the film that we envisioned. Of course it will go ahead either way. But we’d love to let it live up to its potential and reflect the passion that is going into it.

Some great little news for the ‘Friends of Mine’ team. With the film being nominated for Best Drama @sanfranciscoshortfilmfestival ! Stay tuned for more info! @rossdwyer @bellaperversi @janaperle @james_bent1ey @juanfernandomonge @project_tran @ahm.fx

The film centres around Sid (Berk Ozturk, Three Thousand Years of Longing, Clickbait), a 28 year old lost soul. Somewhat of a transient, Sid has just moved into the building for a short period before heading to Berlin. On the night in question, stumbling home, he realises he’s locked himself out of his apartment. Saving him from the cold, he is invited in by his incredibly personable, charming and positive neighbour (Anthony Barton). Despite their obvious clash of ideals, Sid finds a sense of familiarity and safety in his neighbour. However, as the night draws on, the cracks start to show and everything isn’t quite as it seems. Our fundraising efforts are still active and we’d love you to come hear some more about it all. Link in bio.

‘Friends of Mine’ is now available to stream online! Pay as you feel to watch the short film and 100% of the proceeds will go to Rare Cancers Australia. To watch head to the link in our bio. Rare Cancers Australia Ltd (RCA) is a charity whose purpose is to improve the lives and health outcomes of Australians living with rare and less common (RLC) cancers. Thanks again to all the wonderful creatives and artists who came together to make this wonderful little film! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

Friends of Mine is available to be streamed on @aacta TV until the 31st August. Make sure you catch it whilst it’s on there! We’re also in consideration of best short so if you feel to help us along with a vote it would be greatly appreciated!
