Foreword
Hi! My name is Rowan Willis, and I’m a recent (December of 2022) alumni of SFSU, and I’m partnering with the Feminist Filmmaker Fellowship club on campus to produce my short film titled A Hammer of Witches, which follows the story of Constance, a young woman in the 17th century who is accused of witchcraft on account of her love for another woman: Emmeline. I have been working on this idea since I was in early high school, and have spent quite a lot of time thinking about what this movie means to me, and what I want it to mean to other people. This is a story about love and loss, and how they often go hand in hand. The way sapphics are depicted in media is fraught with problems, and I wanted to take control of a story that we often have no say in. Your donations will help me and my talented friends make this story a reality.
Feminist Filmmaker Fellowship (F3) is a student led organization at San Francisco State University that strives to uplift women and non-binary peoples in film.
What We Need
Funding will be used to cover production costs which includes: permitting, insurance, craft services, production design, and transportation along with post production costs for editing and festival submissions. Funds will also be used to reimburse cast and crew for any expenses spent on behalf of the film.
This is a student led production, so funding will be crucial to our productivity and success. Making a student film takes a lot of time and money, acquiring your funding will give us the ability to support student filmmakers and ensure a smooth production process.
