Löwenzahnkind

You have made it possible: Thanks to you, the film production can begin!

We are overjoyed that we have reached the 1st stage and can now fully enter into production. At this point, once again a big thank you to all of you 🙏🙏🙏

Every contribution was important for the success of this crowdfunding, even the anonymous 5.- franc donation! Nevertheless, we would like to give special thanks for the immensely generous contributions to:

Daniel Eschmann, Katharina Dähler, Sajany Bührer, Dominic Brotz, Eigentümergemeinschaft Am Bach 30, Hoya Lens Switzerland AG, Sucht Schweiz and the generous anonymous donors. Many thanks!

Where do we go from here? Jan gives a short outlook:

"The first shooting dates are already planned, but in parallel, the financing continues. We will submit applications to various foundations to cover the total costs of the production if possible. Because that's the only way I'll be able to mainly take care of the film. So the premiere in January 2024 depends on the support of the foundations, as well as the possibility to hire different professionals for certain parts of the production (e.g. cinema sound mixing). So the quality of individual sections and the release date are still somewhat 'in flux', but the most important thing is: the film will become a reality!"

On behalf of the project team, the association and all the dandelion children:

Thank you very much!

Dear supporters and those who want to become supporters

We are very happy that already 97 boosters support our project! With this, almost half of the first stage (20'000.-) is done and we hope, despite the January low, to reach at least the other half and thus a payment of the first stage until the end of the crowdfunding. Otherwise the money will go back to you, the donors.

But what happens to the film production if only the 1st stage is reached? Is it not worth to donate something, because then the film still cannot be produced?

If the 1st stage is not reached, i.e. without your support, it will indeed be difficult. The costs for the entire production including labor costs amount to about CHF 130,000. Unfortunately, this is too little for a film subsidy from the federal government, a minimum of 150'000.- for external costs applies and requires a co-production for example with SRF.

With the crowdfunding we want to cover all external costs and expenses (stage 1 filming and stage 2 post-production), stage 3-5 would then ensure the DVD/Blu-Ray production, the website for the film and a financial contribution to expenses.

In concrete terms, this means that reaching the 1st stage would make the film production possible in a first step! At the same time, such a promotion of the project by the public, i.e. by you, would enable or favor inquiries to various foundations.

Without support from foundations, the production would be greatly delayed, as commercial projects would have priority in order to make a living. But the film would be realized in any case!

So yes, it is worth supporting the project, even if the target amount might not be reached.

That's why we are glad if you share the project with friends and relatives, because still every little support counts.

Thank you very much and best regards
The project team
