Director Statement

As an out of work actor it's easy to sit around, frustrated whilst waiting for the next audition to come in. During a quiet spell, I decided that I'd attempt to make my own project. For me personally, this topic is very important and I felt that the story needed telling authentically, so I had to try my hand at directing for the first time whilst also acting...but thankfully I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by a small group of talented friends who were passionate about creating something and willing to help me out with this project.
