Crowdfunding for THE QUEEN OF IRELAND
Crowdfunding August 2014
-
- EAVE 2005 graduate Katie Holly and EAVE 2014 participant Ailish Bracken, producers from Bl!nder Films have teamed up with writer/director Conor Horgan, who directed their first feature film ONE HUNDRED MORNINGS for their latest feature documentary; THE QUEEN OF IRELAND. Over the last few years Rory has become a figurehead for LGBT rights in Ireland and since the recent scandal around Pantigate, his fight for equality and against homophobia has been recognised all around the world. The Queen of Ireland is not just about Panti Bliss the performer, or Rory O’Neill the accidental activist. It is about how one man in a dress has mobilized a nation and an international community to stand up and fight against injustice.
“We have set a goal of €50,000 to make this film. This will allow us to continue filming with Rory / Panti over the next few months, as well as allowing us to edit, research, get rights to use archive, music, and everything else we need to make the film. We plan to raise matching funds, so YOUR contributions will help us make this the best film possible. You cannot underestimate the impact YOU can have on the future and the success of The Queen of Ireland. For your donations we are offering some truly unique perks which can be found here“: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-queen-of-ireland--2
