In 2018, we produced a short film called Summerdaze which attracted over 3 million views online. Since its publishing, thousands of fans have left comments asking for the short film to be made into a movie or a full series.
As a response, we are raising funds to produce an 8-episode web series featuring the characters from the short film. The series will be in English, with an average runtime of 15 minutes per episode.
