Unfortunately this project is very important in our current political climate. Stories about “diverse” communities, including LGBTQ+ stories, are being implicated as DEI programs lose funding. Obergefell v. Hodges (which legalized gay marriage in 2015) was challenged in 2025, and will likely be under attack again with 2026 Supreme Court changes.

Contributing to this project is an act of resistance; you are actively helping to us tell our LGBTQ+ story and boost representation.

We are filming this summer (2026) in the Los Angeles area.

DWW+ participants are responsible for doing their own fundraising, so every contribution to this film is crucial to its success.

Making this film will take a team of hired professionals and services — funding will go towards insurance and city permits, rented equipment, wages for crew members, costumes, props, and much more.

If you are donating to the film and would like to see a budget breakdown, please email us. We are happy to share and want to foster transparency.

Because AFI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your donation to this film is likely tax deductible.

Apart from financial contributions, we also really appreciate in-kind donations of production services, equipment, food, etc. Please send us an email to discuss further.
