Director Statement

This short is my first short film. It was made with my best friend and my girlfriend. It was a very hectic film to make because we only had a $100 dollar budget. In addition to the low budget, we were the only crew on the set, this made it more difficult to do directing, cinematography, lighting, script supervising, producing and etc.. Thankfully we had friends who helped us in the sound mixing and sound design in post-production to give this movie its full effect. .
