Sponsors
Special Thanks to:
Due to copyright law no money can be made from this unlicensed film therefore this is a not for profit production. Everyone working on this project is not doing it for financial gain but despite everyone’s generosity and help there are inevitable costs that cannot be avoided. For an historical fantasy feature film our budget is incredibly low, with an estimated total budget of around £25,000.
We desperately require sponsors to keep this project the high quality production we wish it to remain. All money gained through sponsorship will be put into making this film, guaranteed! We have the challenge of maintaining high production value and quality within the constraints of a low budget but have proved worthy of this challenge on many occasions. If you would like to see this unique project completed, as many do, then you can support us by becoming a sponsor. On this page are a number of exciting sponsorship opportunities to suit all tastes and budgets. Alternatively you can contact the Born of Hope Team at funding@bornofhope.com to discuss an alternative proposal.
To become a Sponsor, please make your donation via PayPal

Always be sure to include your email plus your preferred name for the credits and website.
