Director Statement

My brother Quinn and I have dreamed of and planned to make films together since we were little kids. We've always been a team. I wrote my first story before I physically knew how to write - I'd tell it to Quinn and he'd write it down in this notebook for me. It's such an honour now to have been able to bring a piece that he wrote to life - my first time directing a script that wasn't my own! Like all siblings, we've had our fights and troubles with communicating but family is so important to both of us and it felt beautiful to create a film that shows that complicated relationship that hopefully other siblings can relate to. Making a film for me is all about who I get to work with to make it and I couldn't have asked for a better team on this one. I'm so grateful they all came together to make this passion project happen.
