Director Statement

'This film is something that means a lot to me, the director. It's an exploration of the human psyche, and how small events can become big things in someone's life. When I came up with the concept for the film with my co-writer, Mary, I reflected on Alexis' character and how sometimes I can create unrealistic expectations for myself. We all know nobody can be perfect, but we still look to be something we're not. I wanted to delve deeper into why we feel guilty for things we can't change, and I wanted to explore familial relationships as this is something I've been working on myself. This film has a bricolage of references from films I've loved, and I wanted to work to create something that can break those negative stereotypes around guilt and trauma and show it is okay to revel in those emotions, and process what's happening to you.'
