Director Statement

Directing Unspoken has been a humbling and exciting process, and I am very proud of what we have achieved. The themes the film deal with are close to my heart and I am thankful that we have had such immense support. Given that it is a heavy topic, I made sure the cast and crew had fun during the process. It is my hope that Unspoken helps people to "talk" about what is ultimately a challenging subject.
