Director Statement

'Brass Monkeys' was the first short film I wrote, and my directorial debut as a filmmaker. I believe I've come a long, long way since making this film but is holds a very special place in my heart. The film had a next to now budget but we had an absolute blast making it, and I'm so grateful to everyone that was involved.
