Director Statement

Based on a personal story, I wanted to make a tribute for my old friend and came up with this idea in January 2024. After revising several drafts, I was able to finalize the script and begin production with the help of my producer, Justine Bacalso, a UNLV senior undergraduate student.

This film also serves my way to get back into directing after taking a break and re-igniting my drive to make films again.
