Director Statement

Allegro came out of frustration with societal norms, and bureaucracy. I have been feeling trapped in a system that does not care about the qualities of what I do, but only about numbers, and status. Allegro is my personal scream, and statement to the world I live in, made by the very means that I feel should be free in the world.
