Director Statement

The time spent making Carnal Vessels has been the most joyful of my life. Living in this movie with the cast and crew and the people in my life was a dream. I hope this lightness is reflected in the finished product.

I want to take you somewhere you haven’t been before - and it’s going to be fun.
