Summer Daze are fueling our Fall

Have you ever watched something and wished it didn’t end? I feel that most K-drama watchers, and even more specifically BL Drama watchers, understand this feeling all too well.

               Have you ever wished you could do something about it?

               A couple of nights ago, while scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon a trailer for a new BL series called ‘SummerDaze: the series’. As I watched the trailer it mentioned the previous hit of its short film.

               You know I jumped to find said short film. I found it and when they say short, they aren’t exaggerating. The whole film was under four minutes. There was no talking, but told a strong story of a love and heartache. Fun fact: While the movie and future series is Singaporean, they actually filmed the short film in 제주도 (jejudo- jeju island).

               While the film was gorgeous and I enjoyed all three minutes and thirty-eight seconds of it, I wanted to throw my computer across the room. I needed more! The movie had come out in 2018 and I was looking desperately for the series I had just seen the trailer for.

               That’s when I re-watched the trailer to see it hadn’t come out and was in fact trying to raise money using crowd funding to help make an 8 episode mini series possible.

               Now here is where you wishing you could do something comes into play.

               They have released a crowd funding (here) only a few days ago. There are a ton of different tiers that garner all types of amazing prizes. Posters, postcards, early access to the episodes, video calls form the cast, your name in the credits, and if you’re a big spender a non-speaking walk on roll!

               I donated so quick! I didn’t even finish the trailer a second time. (I have watched it a LOT more than that since) While I wish I was Ms. Moneybags, I couldn’t afford to just fly out to Singapore to be an extra. I opted to receive the poster and my name in the credits.

               If you want to help there are several ways. The first is obviously donating to their crowd funding (here). The second, if you don’t have the means to donate, is share their story with all your friends who are also big BL fans. And have them share. And keep passing it along. This is the time to make shiz happen! This story needs to be told!
