Director Statement

When I wrote "A Meeting In A Park" as a high school freshman it was my favorite thing I'd ever written. It's a bittersweet slice of life type film between two people who care a lot about each other but have gone in different directions. I wrote both characters with gender-neutral names so that it could be played any way. Although I originally imagined it with two women, I enjoyed thinking about how different people might play these parts. When I decided to film "A Meeting In A Park" I got both a guy and a girl actor to play Alex so we could film two different portraits. It was delightful to film with such a wonderful cast and crew - my favorite thing about this piece was probably watching how Celia (Riley) played off of each Alex differently. In private screenings I've delighted in overhearing people compare the two portraits and argue about which one they liked better.
