Fr/ag/mented Summer is a sweet and melancholy short film following four separate stories all happening on the same late August day in the same small town.

Two teenagers experience a summertime romance with an uncertain future.

A family dog escapes his boring farm and finally explores the world he's been missing out on.

Two friends try their hardest to stave off their boredom, which leads them to a profound discovery.

And a wandering musician spends the day trying to find the perfect place to record his song.

My name is Jake Kilgore, and i've been making short films in Northern California for about 5 years. This is my first kickstarter campaign, and it's both exciting and intimidating. If you're reading this, or you donate to help create original content, you are an awesome person.

You can verify that I don't suck here:

I have always funded my own projects by myself with the little money that I have, and i'm ready to break into the next level of filmmaking, and that's gonna require money. This will be my first opportunity to pay my actors, to pay my crew, and to pay for DVD/Blu Ray prints, and to pay for Festival Submissions.

A filmmaker is nothing if they have no audience. And even though my audience isn't the biggest or the wealthiest, I want you all to get involved and know that this film would not be possible without you.

Love and Kisses, Jake Kilgore
