Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our backers, You Were Perfect successfully reached – and exceeded – its Kickstarter funding target. This film exists because of you: your belief, your pledges, your messages, and your willingness to champion a story about love, loss, and second chances.

From day one, this project has been rooted in connection and community, and the response has been genuinely overwhelming. Over the course of the campaign, You Were Perfect raised 108% of its £22,000 goal, unlocked £5,000 in matched funding, and built a highly-engaged international audience, affirming both the strength of the story and the appetite for work like this.

In the months leading up to and during the campaign, You Were Perfect connected with a confirmed minimum audience of 24,700+ people, with far wider exposure through 187,000+ views and impressions across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, particularly in the UK, North America, and Europe. This momentum didn’t just fund the film, it validated the audience, the outreach strategy, and the project’s readiness to move forward.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who backed, shared, commented, and encouraged us along the way. You didn’t just help make a film, you helped prove that stories like You Were Perfect deserve to be made, seen, and carried forward.

What This Means

Reaching our funding goal allows us to move confidently into the next stage of production, ensuring that You Were Perfect can be realised with the care, craft, and emotional integrity it deserves. It means we can properly support our cast and crew, deliver the visual ambition of the film, and honour the story at the heart of the project.

If you’ve only just discovered the project, or weren’t able to pledge before we hit our goal, it’s not too late. Late pledges are now open, giving you the chance to support the film, secure rewards, and become part of the You Were Perfect journey.

Stretch Goals – Going Further Together

With the core funding secured, we’re now looking ahead to a series of stretch goals that will allow us to push the project further creatively and practically. Additional support will help us enhance production design, expand accessibility elements, and ensure the film reaches the widest possible audience through festival submissions and outreach.
