Hello everyone! My name is Reilly Cleaver, and I’m a young filmmaker currently attending California State Fullerton. I’m producing a short film titled Head First, a heartfelt passion project that explores themes of coming of age, bravery, and queerness. Set at the beach, the film follows Dylan and Marina as they navigate falling in love the summer before college. This story means a lot to me and my team, and we’re determined to bring it to life. But we can’t do it alone!

This film is entirely self-funded, and every contribution helps us cover the essential costs of production. Your donation will go directly toward: Equipment, props, costumes and set design to bring the world of our story to life, food for the crew, post-production costs, and festival submissions.

We’re aiming to raise $1,500, which will allow us to complete production and share our film at student festivals and online screenings.

Every dollar counts, and everyone who donates will receive a thank you in the credits.

Thank you for helping us make this dream a reality!
