Have you ever received mail for someone you don't know?We are making a short dark comedy film inspired by the wrong mail.
Eduardo Munez tells the story of a man on the edge.... And a LOT of letters!
The original crowdfunding campaign was funded by 104% on December 6, 2015 (But you can still contribute!).
Along with the funds we need to collect lots of amazing letters from around the world for use in the film as props. What we don't want is for all the mail in our film to be boring junk mail! We are looking for mail artists and snail mail lovers to get involved in our project by sending us letters which we can feature in our film! We need a LOT of them!
We are looking
for letters, particularly drawn envelopes, mail art and plain envelopes
- not postcards. Most importantly the letters must be addressed to Mr Eduardo Munez.
We will have to
change the real addresses on the front to the 'fake' address of the character
in the film so please leave the address section fairly clear of decoration.
In our film the
letters to Mr Eduardo Munez do not get opened - so inside you can write
whatever you like. You can use your imagination - who do you think Eduardo
Munez is? What kind of mail would he receive?
Once shooting on
the film is completed we will video the team opening all the letters we have
received and having a look at their mysterious contents...! We'll provide
everyone who contributes with a password protected video link to watch them all
being opened. All letter writers will also receive special thanks in the
credits too...
With each letter
writer's permission - we will also publish them on our Facebook page and the blog of the project.
The address to
send your mysterious mail to is:
Mr Eduardo
Munez
272 Waterloo
Street,
Newcastle
upon Tyne,
NE1 4DJ
UNITED
KINGDOM
Deadline: 1 March, 2016 30 April, 2016
Please, be sure to write your sender details on the back of the envelope as the letters will not be opened until after the film is completed!
