Director Statement

The story of Sunny Days began when I was searching through short films on the internet and it seems that nearly every romance film had the exact same plot: A man is sad, an eccentric woman enters his life, they have a montage of happiness, and they inevitably break up.

I felt there were so many films with this same story, that a satire of one of these stories would be interesting. I love taking a genre we all know and love and trying to do something new with it, and I hope Sunny Days successfully accomplishes this feat.

I'm happy with the film, and I am happy above all with the performances. I believe Nick Banko and Miranda Moffat knocked it out of the park with this film, and I cannot wait for people to be able to see what they can do.
