How

The vision remains unchanged, for the essence of the original film lies in its simplicity. The filmmakers intend to adhere to their roots, embracing the ethos of low-budget, independent filmmaking. A single weekend, a mere two and a half days, shall be dedicated to capturing the essence of each storyline. The crew, small yet mighty, shall wield the powerful iPhone Pro, armed with the remarkable FilmicPro app, to immortalize the magic on screen.

Funds, though modest, shall be raised to support this endeavor. The filmmakers, ever resourceful, seek to keep the production tight-knit, just as they did in the early days. Low-budget agreements with the unions shall be signed, with deferred union rates and small day rate honorariums for the cast and crew. A delicate balance, a dance between passion and practicality, ensuring that everyone involved shall be duly compensated.

To ignite the flames of excitement, a social media campaign has been set ablaze. The filmmakers yearn to connect with kindred spirits, to rally support for this extraordinary project. And so, soon to come, we will build on the wondrous realm of "seed&spark," a revolutionary platform for independent film fundraising. A beacon of hope, a sanctuary for dreams to flourish.

Dear friends, the filmmakers implore you to join them on this exhilarating journey. Your interest, your passion, your unwavering support shall be cherished. In the coming weeks, they shall orchestrate a grand spectacle, a 30th anniversary screening of the locally produced masterpiece, "Love Four." It shall serve as the catalyst, the spark that ignites the fundraising campaign for the sequel, set to grace the silver screen this very year.

In the realm of creativity, where dreams intertwine with reality, the filmmakers stand poised, ready to embark on a new adventure. The legacy of "Love Four" shall endure, its spirit carried forth by the unwavering dedication of those who believe in the power of love, laughter, and the magic of the silver screen.
