Director Statement

My hair, going grey, has been on my mind for years, our hair, becoming grey, more specifically.

The culture around it is fascinating and complex and I have used my interest in photography, and my interest in meeting people to explore this topic and present it as a way for viewers to ponder where one's own decisions originate from to create a personal visual identity.
