Lust for Love (2014)

Interesting facts

Lust for Love is a 2014 independent romantic comedy film written and directed by Anton King. The narrative follows the story of Astor as he attempts to win back his childhood dream-girl Mila after a short courtship precipitated by a drunken rescue by seeking the advice of her former best friend Cali.

Production

In order to produce the film, the creative team turned to crowd-sourced funding via Kickstarter. The funding period ran from 12 October 2011 to 10 November 2011 with a goal of $70,000. Ultimately $101,030 was pledged by Kickstarter backers. The crowd-sourced funds were depleted just before the end of principal photography, and the production team made up the deficit.

Principal photography ran for 19 days in December 2011 with shooting locations in the Los Angeles area. Post-production began in January 2012 using Final Cut Pro on the Apple Macintosh platform. First assembly was complete in April 2012, and the first rough cut screening by the team was done in May 2012. Additional cuts took place during the summer of 2012, with sound mixing and final editing taking place through the year.

Writer/Director Anton King had made a short film entitled "Lust for Love" which played at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. Being fond of the title, he decided to re-use it for his first feature film.

On 22 January 2014 it was announced that Gravitas Ventures would release the film via video on demand with a release date of 7 February 2014. The film would be available via iTunes, Amazon Video, Google Play, Vudu, and other online channels.
