Documentary about Hastings Pier charting the 9-year, people-led battle to revive the most loved icon of the most famous town in the world.

Project aim
Re: A Pier is a feature-length documentary about Hastings Pier. I've been filming it for 9 years (!) and it's now in the final straight towards completion.

What's the money for?
The entire project has been self-funded, to keep it 100% independent, so Archie has paid for everything so far (with the help of a previous successful Crowdfunder callout in 2011). He's now at the edit stage, having arranged 18 months of unpaid leave from his day job; and surprisingly, this 6-month post-production period is going to cost nearly as much as the entire 9-year shoot.

That's partly because he's now established a little production collective with four other practitioners. They're absolutely crucial to the project, they're all Hastings people, and they definitely need paying. The £3500 will go entirely to them.
