After months of planning, weeks of filming, and plenty of ups and downs along the way, we are officially wrapped on 'The Pursuit of Forgiveness'!
Filming took place over five intense days across three weekends in January 2025, and to say it was a journey is an understatement. Independent filmmaking is never easy, and this production certainly came with its fair share of challenges. Crew members dropped out at the last minute, leaving us scrambling to find replacements, and while we originally aimed to raise £5,000, we ultimately hit our minimum goal of £3,000—meaning we had to work within a tighter budget than we had hoped.
But despite all of that, what we created together makes every struggle worth it.
One of the most rewarding parts of this experience has been the incredible friendships and connections formed throughout production. The dedication of everyone involved—cast, crew, and supporters—has been truly inspiring. We came together, against the odds, to tell a story that we believe will resonate deeply with audiences. 'The Pursuit of Forgiveness' explores themes of addiction, guilt, and the search for redemption, and we poured everything we had into making sure those themes were handled with the honesty and care they deserve.
A huge shoutout to our amazing cast, who brought these characters to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Robert gave an emotionally raw and captivating performance, and Niamh—who made her short film debut in this project—absolutely blew us away with her talent. Watching her embody Claire with such depth and vulnerability was something truly special, and we can’t wait for audiences to see what she brought to this role.
Now, as we move into post-production, the real magic begins. Over the next few months, we’ll be fine-tuning everything—editing, sound design, and music—to ensure we bring this story to life in the best way possible. Our goal is to hold a private screening in mid-to-late April 2025, and we can’t wait to share 'The Pursuit of Forgiveness' with you all.
To everyone who supported us along the way—whether by donating, offering locations, or simply cheering us on—we cannot thank you enough. This film is proof of what can be achieved when passionate people come together to tell a story that matters.
Stay tuned for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and details about the screening. We’re just getting started!
