Director Statement

Aidan: This was a JOINT collaboration with my friend, co-director, co-producer, co-writer, and executive editor Ben York. Back in early 2020, I was declared 'extremely vulnerable' by the government guidance. The lockdown period was extremely difficult for me but Ben and I decided that we would amalgamate my experience as 'extremely vulnerable' with a national decrease in job opportunities that will not only expose the difficulties that young people are currently experiencing, but will provide specific attention to those young people with underlying health conditions in a very chaotic, claustrophobic and scary period, that was, the outbreak of Covid-19.
