Help Us Bring “Roll for Reality” to Life!

Goal

Our team is seeking funding to bring the pilot and proof of concept for, "Roll For Reality," to the big screen. Our goal is to raise $2,500 to cover the costs of production, including costumes, production design, food, and more.

About

Roll for Reality is a web series pilot written by Caitlin Farrell.

What whimsy (or chaos) might come about in the daily lives of our heroes? What can we learn about ourselves through the characters we play and the worlds we create? And more importantly... did anything evil get pulled into the real world too?

All proceeds will go towards funding the film and the costs associated with filmmaking, including:

Production and Costume Design

Food for Cast and Crew

Transportation of Cast, Crew, and Equipment to/from Set

Items to help with COVID Safety
