Contribute to a film starring Jeremy…

Actors Ian McKellen, Jeremy Irons, Derek Jacobi, Fiona Shaw, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Brian Cox, Alan Cumming and more have contributed to a new documentary “Muse of Fire” about Giles Terrera and Dan Poole, two young London actors who have set out together to face the greatest challenge in the world of acting; Shakespeare.

Dan Poole Poole & Giles Terrera are trying to raise £25k to finish shooting their docu/feature on William Shakespeare entitled, ‘Muse of fire’.

Up to now they have self-funded the project at some wonderfully monstrous expense, but they’re at a bit of a brick wall and need your help.

All donators of this marvelous £10, would receive a credit on the film- yes that’s at least 10,002 credits probably a few more, and one in every thousand contributors will be interviewed for the film, about their donation.

Contact the filmmakers at: info@museoffirefilm.co.uk

Dan and Giles have a facebook group Muse of Fire – A Documentary – Facebook group which you can join to help support the film.

Here’s the teaser trailer for their documentary:
