Director Statement

“You know the spot where our hearts meet — there they can see one another in spite of the distance of places.” - St. Francis de Sales

'Borrowed Time' was a film that was very out of my comfort zone to direct, I had experience in horror and suspense in writing, but being able to put it on the screen was a different experience, and I hope that I'll be able to get better and create more pieces like this in the future!

The film is meant to send out the message of being able to look past the surface of an individual and see them for who they truly are, in this case, despite the Girl being a dangerous creature when provoked, she is kind, sarcastic, and just a little girl being put in a stressful situation.
