We are thrilled to announce that we will be commencing production works for our next short film "Summer Island"!
Project Summary
In this aesthetic, light-hearted short film “Summer Island” (Japanese name: “シンガポールの夏”), the audience will embark on a heartfelt tour around Singapore from the point of view of the Japanese protagonists.
The project draws inspirations from popular Japanese films and drama series, and pay homage to Japanese cinema while telling culturally relatable stories in the Singapore context.
The project will showcase different facades of Singapore, with key features including:
Heritage & Built Environment of Singapore - Join the protagonists to explore a mix of hidden gems & less explored local neighbourhoods and unearth shared stories of the spaces
Food & Culture - Fusion of Japan-Singapore food & cultural showcase
Artist Stories - Singaporean & Japanese artisans, craftsmen living on the tiny summer island together, talking about their pursuit of passions and inspirational stories
We are launching our Indiegogo Campaign with some crowdfunding initiatives until mid January 2025. We have secured funding to kickstart the project but are hoping to raise another SGD3000 or more from this crowdfunding initiative to offset the cost of production and expanding the horizon of the short film. Please see the landing page here:
In essence, your support will enable us to include more Singaporean and Japanese artists into our narratives, giving them an opportunity to share their works & personal journey in their creative pursuits. The fundraising drive also will give us more flexibility in expanding our crew to include more local talents, from casts, crew to soundtrack artists.
We have prepared some fine-art prints as part of our campaign perks (under Keepsake Photo Print). We will also have some limited edition of the poster prints when the short film is released. Lastly a private screening session is currently under planning, we will certainly invite all our supporters to join the session if the details are confirmed.
Keepsake Photo Prints for selection:
we will be in touch on your desired choice of print if you have selected this perk
Other ways to help
We totally understand if you can't contribute financially, we deeply appreciate other forms of support as well, for example share the word about our Indiegogo campaign and tell your friends about our project, thank you for your help supporting our artistic endeavour.
Cheers,
Kevin
