Director Norman J. Warren needed something to show producers he could direct so he made this short on 35mm. He took it to all the independent distributors and independent theatre owners, until a man named Richard Schulman, said he would show it at the London cinema he owned. It just so happened that he was also discussing with an independent distributor by the name of Bachoo Sen, the idea of going into production themselves. Fragments was on the screen while they were talking and as they needed a director, Bachoo Sen said "Why don't we give him a call?" So they called Warren and offered him a directing job. The film ended up being Her Private Hell (1968), which was the first British sex film to tell a story.
