Staff at the Mockingbird Cinema have kick-started a crowdfunding initiative as the region’s film industry emerges from the Covid pandemic.

Announcing a campaign to raise £20,000, the cinema, a 98-seat film hub, located in Digbeth’s The Custard Factory, is seeking the support of movie fans to back film-making in the Midlands.

In return for donations to the project, supporters will receive rewards such as private screenings for family and friends, thank you message credits and adverts shown before films watched by thousands of film-goers, alongside wine and cinema ticket goody bags.
