Director Statement

During the curation process of this project, I had the pleasure of working with a phenomenal group of actors and production crew, which really correlated with a lot of great days of filming. As for the screenplay itself, I took a lot of artistic and creative concepts from a lot of allegorical themes which has been the basis for most of my film projects since the inception of my career. After The Piano indulges in a lot of societal elements from a multitude of different viewpoints that one can relate to a 15th century morality play or a modern day Shakespeare tragedy. I wanted to emphasize in the film, a lot of issues that plague our society, drug and opioid addiction, domestic violence and kids growing up in broken households throughout the world.

The film faced a lot of challenges and obstacles being filmed during a turbulent time period in the film industry. “After The Piano” is a multi-layered story that we hope to continue to expand in the future. We will aim to bring a unique, compelling and thought provoking enjoyable cinematic experience. I hope this resonates with the viewers and may even spark some conversation and positive dialogue. We are partnering with piano vendors, organizations, nonprofits and instructors to encourage more youth to take up classical piano instruction and training for further growth, development and community outreach programs worldwide.
