Short Summary

Hello! My name is Rachel Villagomez; I'm a Texas filmmaker and student. While getting my BFA in film production at Texas State University, I worked as a producer and in other supporting roles in various film projects. I've also worked professionally for a Film studio in film and tv development. After directing my first scene for a school project, I uploaded a series of TikTok's documenting my process that has generated over 800,000 views on the platform. I've had the opportunity to work alongside other notable filmmakers, and I'm now excited to start my directorial debut "Return Fire." 

Logline: After committing a series of robberies, a vengeful young woman tracks down her best friend, looking for her share of the cash; however, what she is truly after is more than money.
"Return Fire" is a dark, gritty, twisted coming-of-age story about the fallout of two friends and the horrors of revenge.

This will be the first film I've written and directed. It is a story I'm incredibly passionate about, and excited to bring together all the people I've collaborated with over the years to make this film. With your help, we can make this film the best possible and make "Return Fire" a reality! 

What We Need & What You Get

Making a film is not easy. Because we are not produced by a studio or production company, everything we do is entirely self-funded. All proceeds will be used in the film as a budget using this donation page. This includes: 

• Camera and other equipment rentals 

• Safety equipment and stunt/safety professionals 

• Catering 

• Props and Wardrobe 

• Festival Fee

By having a bigger budget, we can invest in industrial equipment to achieve professional, industry-standard quality. We can also invest in safety equipment and other professional services to ensure our cast and crew are safe when performing stunts. The remaining funding will cover additional production expenses and festival entry fees when the film is completed. 

And we want to give back to the people who would support us! We are offering some fantastic perks as a thank-you for your donation. Perks include behind-the-scenes videos, an exclusive invite to our email list, signed posters from our cast and crew, and so much more! These perks will make you an active part of this film, and you'll experience what it's like to make a film from start to finish.

The Impact

As a filmmaker just starting to direct, this film will be the first step into my professional career. Most of the cast and crew are also students and will use this project to jump-start their film careers and use them in portfolios and resumes. Experience on set is the best way to learn and break into the industry. I hope my production can be a learning experience to grow as filmmakers and professionals. 
This is also a story I'm passionate about telling. I've pulled this idea from my own experiences and what I've wanted to see done in film. The film has two female leads and is centered around grief and anger. The story doesn't shy away from violence and honestly depicts what it means to be betrayed by someone you love. 

Risks & Challenges

Since we are a self-produced film, our small but mighty crew is working hard every day to start pre-production and begin planning for shooting this summer. Because we don't have the advantages of being produced by a giant corporation, everything we do is by collaborating with our team and using our local resources to make this film. Because this film requires simulated weapons and fight scenes, our team is developing a safety plan and investing in the right equipment to make our set the safest possible. By spreading the word through this page and finding funding through outside sources, we hope to expand our budget to invest in more robust equipment and other professionals to assist us with prop handling and stunts. 

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't donate to our page, that's OK! There are still some ways you can support us. By sharing this page and spreading the word, we can reach more people about our project. You can also follow these pages to stay updated on our production and all stages of development.
