Director Statement

Benches, being my first major production, is a short film in which I explored my ability to craft an engaging interaction between two strangers with conflicting personalities. This film is a reflection of my belief that individuals are always more than what they present themselves as and that people of every kind, regardless of how different they may seem to each other, have the ability to bond and form connections.
