STORY
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 the only social media, and texting was not something teenagers relied on.
Inspired by thought-provoking drama films like Call Me By Your Name, Stand By Me, and Kids.
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.
