Islandness Film Crowdfund

Islandness explores the profound connections between people and place in a world in crisis.

A timely story exploring the essence of humanity amid the shifting tides of our times. – George Monbiot, Environmentalist and Author

Set in the Scottish Hebrides during this pivotal period of unrest, the story follows a diverse group of islanders as their ways of life are shaped by change, asking some of the most pressing questions of our times. This story reveals what ‘islandness' can teach us about togetherness and our connection to the natural world in times of upheaval, and what this shows us about meaning in a meaning-starved culture. The film explores identity, community, and spirituality, as well as practical aspects of island life, journeying through an elemental landscape steeped in history, hardship, and wisdom.

We're a team of four hoping to raise £12,500 - £15,000 to help complete the making of Islandness. Creative Scotland is match funding each donation in real time! We're already at 78% funded, with over 108 supporters with 23 still to go.

Your contribution, big or small, helps us tell a story that needs to be heard. We understand times are tough right now, so if a donation isn’t possible, there are plenty of other ways you can support the film. Sharing it with friends, family, and your wider network helps enormously. If you have a platform on social media, a newsletter, podcast etc. that's also a great way to share the message.

Thank you!
