Production

Riley was Benjamin Howard's feature film debut and it was inspired by his experiences as a student athlete. Howard, who is from East County, San Diego, said many sequences were filmed in places formative to his upbringing, including Mt. Helix Park. It was crowdfunded through Seed&Spark and was filmed in April 2022.

Howard described the range of colors in the film as a reflection of multiple character emotions and experiences. Shades of blue and light gray were used when Riley felt happy, while neutral and warmer tones mirrored his unfavorable or gloomy feelings.
