Experiencing Interruptions?

Blocks

Director Statement

"Blocks" deals with rigid stereotypes, in particular my perspective on masculinity and how it restricts personal development growing up.

I tell stories about serious topics, but deliver in a playful way, so that people of all ages can enjoy and reflect on them.
