Director Statement

Every person has their own, unique story to tell. This film is about my parents. Two lovely and ordinary individuals. Ordinary is a beautiful thing. I want to capture the details of the everyday life and express it with warmth and style.
The camera is watching, not guiding or intruding. Pace and tempo should be in harmony with the character’s way of life.
