Director Statement

Against Reason is my first narrative short film and is a true project of passion for me. The film deals with themes of love, lust, betrayal, jealously and the general state of dating for 20-somethings with the presence of ubiquitous social media. Hopefully Against Reason feels authentic and relatable for those of us who have navigated dating in this unprecedented landscape.
