Hi!!! I'm Izzy and I'm making a movie in my home town!!! Consider supporting the GoFundMe and sharing with your friends!




After moving home from the west coast, I wrote a movie called Missing Cody. We're filming in the Chippewa Valley this Fall 2026, and I need YOUR help to make it happen.

The film follows Cody, a runaway who, after the unexpected passing of her parents, moves back to her childhood home thinking it's "free rent." When she reunites with her four estranged siblings (who had the same idea) they ALL learn the house is far from paid off. To clear their parents' debts, the five decide to invite all their childhood friends to live with them, splitting the rent and creating a post-grad frat house.

Missing Cody is budgeted at $100,000, which qualifies us for Wisconsin's new film incentive rebate program, meaning every dollar also stays local: Wisconsin crew, Wisconsin locations, Wisconsin talent, Wisconsin small businesses.

This isn't just a movie about coming home: I am coming home. And I can't wait to make something that makes Wisconsin proud.

Feel free to reach out for any questions or suggestions for collaborating!
