Hey! Richard Scott here. I'm a filmmaker from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. I'm raising money for my upcoming short film Candle Dodgers.

Watch my pitch video here to learn more about the film!

On Saturday 23rd May at 5am, I will embark on a journey from Haltwhistle to Tynemouth - completely on foot - and I’ll be live-streaming the whole thing on social media!

I want to prove my passion and commitment to getting Candle Dodgers off the ground - that's why I've picked a completely bonkers physical & mental challenge.

I've made a bunch of short films in the past, and they've all been self-funded. But Candle Dodgers is a little beyond the scope of my own wallet - so I'm here to ask YOU for some help!

I don’t want to beg for money - but I will absolutely to bleed for it!

⛅ I'll be setting off from Haltwhistle at Sunrise - 5am - and walking for over 16 hours to reach Tynemouth before midnight.

I'll be doing challenges, trivia, and giveaways on the live-stream along the way too!

️ In addition to raising money for my film, I am sharing 10% of all donations to a local charity - and when we hit our final goal - I’m donating 100% of additional funds raised.

For updates on my training, route mapping, and your support - head over to the Candle Dodgers Instagram page!

Thank you so much for tuning in - and I hope to see you on the 23rd May!
