Brain Chip Short Film

Donation protected
Hi, we're Asparagus Productions, and we're fundraising for our next short film, Brain Chip.


Brain Chip
We have been working tirelessly to spin up our next comedy yarn and are happy to present “Brain Chip”. Brain Chip tells the story of Giles, an elderly resident in a local care home who has one thing on his mind: winning the weekly games night. Driven by desperation and successive losses, Giles has employed a brand new, state-of-the-art experimental brain chip that promises to elevate his mind and body, and catapult him above his fellow residents, including his arch rival, Tobias.

Through its unique blend of comedy, sci-fi and horror, Brain Chip promises to entertain, shock and amuse. Will Giles triumph, or will disaster strike?

Who are we?
Asparagus Productions was born from the vision of Bede Rauh and Henry Martin, beginning humbly as a duo armed with nothing but a camera and a Deliveroo uniform. Within a year, our efforts earned national recognition with a British Short Film Award nomination for our mockumentary, "Only Fandy."

Since then, we've dived headfirst into the world of film, making everything from comedy sketches to TV pilots and our most recent short film "Devil Root". For our next endeavour we've expanded the Asparagus team to include Richard Flint and Rob Mann, who make up our core production team.

Why we are making Brain Chip
Brain Chip is the next step in our filmmaking journey. We hope to create a film that makes you smile, laugh, cry, and squirm.

We also want to explore themes that matter to us and to society at large. Once exclusively in the realm of science fiction, digital implants are already a reality through technologies such as Neuralink, and this is a trend that will only continue as the physical and digital worlds combine.

Brain Chip also provides an opportunity for us to progress our own filmmaking journeys. We want to take things up a notch again, and elevate our entire production to a more refined level. We want to show what we can do, and continue to learn through the process.

Why do we need your support?
Filmmaking isn't cheap. We are self-funding most of Brain Chip, but we would love your support to help make this film a reality.

For the production, we are hiring several professional actors, employing a larger crew, renting a location, and using professional-grade cameras and lighting.

Any and all support will go directly to covering our production costs, and ensuring we can afford to produce, Brain Chip. It goes without saying that we are immensely grateful for any and all donations, and have a huge amount of love for everyone that supports both this film and our wider careers.

Please consider donating and joining the Asparagus family!

Much love and gratitude,

The Asparagus Productions Team
