My Summer Stars
Fully funded and production-ready | Romantic Comedy
Logline
To save her hometown’s historic legacy and her own high-stakes career, a London marketing executive finds herself caught in a viral “romance” with a global pop star. As she struggles to maintain the charade, the one man who knows the truth —an old friend and local craftsman —becomes the only person she can’t keep a secret from.
Synopsis
Holly Frost, a career-focused London marketing executive, returns to her hometown to revitalise the struggling Summer Solstice Festival. Her plans are derailed when a viral social media post falsely implies she is engaged to global pop icon Colin Faraday. To save both the festival and the local economy, Holly must maintain this high-stakes charade.
The situation intensifies when the real Colin Faraday arrives, seeking an escape from his celebrity life. He agrees to support the ruse, turning the village into a media sensation. As Holly manages the “Two Colins”—the superstar playing a role and Ben, her childhood friend and local craftsman who knows the truth—she is forced to choose between the life she carefully branded in London and the authentic connection she has rediscovered at home.
THE VISION
The narrative celebrates the timeless appeal of the British countryside, pairing a fast-paced “comedy of errors” with a grounded, soulful romance. It is designed to be a visual and emotional escape — a celebration of community, second chances, and the magic of a traditional Cotswold Summer Festival.
