Not only was The Hat made during Lockdown, what Darren has done is pioneered a new and disruptive model for financing charitable causes. Using named talent coupled with ‘indie-sized’ budgets – the profits from the films will be donated to charity. In the case of The Hat – the profits will be donated to teen cancer charities. Raindance is excited to be involved in this exciting venture.”
