My name is Marissa Bodden, and I am a senior film student at Hofstra University, currently working on my final thesis project. My project is a short film that represents everything I’ve learned and dreamed of creating since I first picked up a camera.

This film is more than just a grade; it’s a personal story I've poured my heart into. More importantly, this project is a crucial stepping stone toward launching my career as a filmmaker. Every dollar raised will go directly to my production costs including equipment rentals, set design, locations, crew, and post-production. All of these costs are to ensure the film is made with the quality and care it deserves.

As a student, my resources are limited but with your help, I can bring this vision to life. Please consider donating no matter the amount of your gift, the support you provide means the world to me, and it moves my story one step closer to the screen.

Thank you so much for believing in me as an independent filmmaking student. I can’t wait to share my finished film with you!
