Axminster-born filmmaking student Keziah Foster has launched an online fundraising campaign to help her create her new film, 'GIRLIE'.

Keziah attended Axminster Community Primary School and then The Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis where she developed a love for the creative arts. She went on to Exeter College and is now in the second year of a filmmaking degree at UAL London College of Communication. 

Keziah will also be well-known to the Axminster community having worked at Higgler Coffee, Axminster Arts Cafe and Sublyme, and having performed in several productions by Axminster Drama Club and its youth section. 

She is currently trying to raise funds for her film 'GIRLIE', which will be made by an entirely working-class crew and cast with a plot that's centred around taking money from the rich - like a modern-day, female 'Robin Hood'.

'GIRLIE' is a short film set under the backdrop of 1983, working-class East London that takes reference from both the New Romantics movement, West Ham FC fans and the British wave of heavy metal. 

It follows a working-class girl, Pam, who steals the wallets of the wealthy customers she serves at work, with the help of her co-worker and friend-with-benefits Tel, all to gather money for her recently unemployed father.

Keziah is hoping to raise £1,250 to cover location costs, 1980s TV gameshow rights, production design and costume costs to authentically replicate 80s East London.
