Hello!

My name is Connor Riccardi and I am a senior at Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts. Just this month, I completed production on my Senior Thesis film, Fools of Nature. This film is the product of four years of work in the Rutgers Film Department, and I am very excited to get this film completed and out onto your screens (big or small). The film is a slow burn romance about youth and desire. It follows Malcolm & Jamie, two longtime friends who take a trip together to escape the city and head west toward what they believe is personal freedom.

If you know me, you know I love making movies and you know that I'm all in on this. This is my last school movie and it's the one that I will take into the world with me after graduation. I'd love for you you to go all-in with me.

Production on the film has already wrapped. However, there is more to be done. We're now moving into the editing process, making sure the film is the best that it can be before we share it with the world. Nearly all of the money spent on the film came from my own personal funds, and any funds raised here will cover the cost of the film's production. Here's a quick breakdown of what we would be using the funds for:

Any contribution would make a huge difference in this effort and I would love you forever. You'll also get your name on the film (along with everyone else that donates here! a community!) in the Special Thanks section of the film's credits. Making movies takes teamwork and I need you on this team.

Anything you can give would be so appreciated. 40 cents or 2 dollars, it's all a step in the right direction. I hope you'll join me and consider supporting the film, and I am looking forward to having you on board. Thank you!
