Director Statement

While I may have only made one film, it’s a journey that rivals any Hollywood drama. My cinematic opus was 2 hours long but it took me 5 years to make. I sold my family home, a place filled with cherished memories, just to secure 15 more days of filming. Then came the moment I traded my Bitcoin stash for mere $6,000 to hire slightly prettier extras on shoot day, a decision that would haunt me as it soared to staggering $40,000 shortly after. By the time my movie hit theaters I was without a car trudging a kilometer through blistering 40-degree heat to get groceries, there and back. And on more than one occasion I forgot baby milk. The end result was that a small group of viewers did manage to find joy in my creation. Success!
