Director Statement

Separating once from a long term partner shocked me with its harsh abruptness and the coldness that followed. Particular to this feeling was an acute, immediate isolation that pitted beauty and warmth of my surroundings with a stark coldness. A nuanced cadence of events followed that provided me with compassion and harmony in empirical detail, but at the time I was too stricken to see these, and confined myself to vice and escapism. A one too common experience I have observed in others, but once my own experience met this scenario, I wanted to capture it within this picture.
