UK production and distribution company Vertigo Films has announced a unique financing structure for its next feature, Nick Love's Outlaw. The budget for the film will be less than $5 million.
The film's entire budget will be funded by the public, through a website with investment packages of £10, £50, and £100.
In return for their contributions, investors will get incentives including executive producer credits on the DVD, film merchandise such as T-shirts, the chance to be a film extra, invites to screenings, and production updates. The website goes live today.
Producer Allan Niblo said:"Vertigo Films is extremely proud and excited to be involving the UK public in this unique opportunity to fund Nick Love's next feature film. We are confident that fans of Nick's work and British film fans in general will be intrigued and enthusiastic about being directly investing involved within Outlaw".
Love previously directed The Football Factory and The Business for Vertigo.
Vertigo said Outlaw will start shooting in the UK in July 2006, although no cast is announced yet.
"My next film is a collection of true stories and incidents told to me by the public up and down the country," said Love. "Outlaw is about a group of people that take the law into their own hands and try to right perceived wrongs."
Vertigo's other past productions include Human Traffic and It's All Gone Pete Tong.
