SCRAPS is an LGBTQ+ narrative skate film, the first of its kind. Set in Livingston, Montana during the summer of 2003. A time where skateboarding is largely male-dominated and gay marriage has yet to be legalized. Apple iPods are replacing old mp3 players, Myspace was one of the only forms of social media, and texting was not something teenagers relied upon. Inspired by indie drama films like Mid90s, Call Me By Your Name, & The Perks Of Being A Wallflower – as well as recent sensations Young Royals and Heartstopper – SCRAPS seeks to touch the hearts of young artists everywhere.
It’s never easy being a new outsider to a small town and the fear of our own unclear futures grips us all. However, striving for love’s connection, deep friendships, and gratitude for the memories we stumble upon is what makes the struggles of life worth cherishing. Full of cinematic beauty, teenage nostalgia, and surprising lessons, SCRAPS will rip and rebuild your heartstrings & inspire a new generation of small-town dreamers.
As of April 4th, this project has raised $2,800 of their $15,000 goal. This project has 38 days left to raise the $15,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $10, you will get a social media shoutout. For a pledge of $25, you will get a digital link to watch the film.
