Director Statement

We state that the world is bat shit crazy but full of beautiful people, which is reflected in our films. We never thought we could make a film like this as were put off my the technical considerations and the potential budget. It was a revelation and a privilege to direct this film, especially with the knowledge of who it was for. It was natural for us to give the performers and crew space and freedom to express their talent for it is a collaborative film set where great ideas can be brought to screen.
