Director Statement

"Pleasure of love lasts but a moment. Pain of love lasts a lifetime." - Bette Davis

From the moment I read the first iteration of this script, I was excited to explore the many facets of love. Check Out Time takes you through every kind of love you can imagine: old love, new love, friend love and lost love. It was important to approach each love with a tenderness and an intimacy that would allow the audience to engage with it on a visceral level.

The examination of the internal lives of characters is something that I attempt to achieve with all of my work. Working in the genres of horror and thriller allowed me the space to talk about the long term emotional damage of adultery. It also allowed me to examine the trauma and pain of black women without victimizing black women or leaving them powerless. On the other hand, the film gives us an opportunity to see love bloom between two people. It gives us a front seat to the messy work of navigating the unexpected.

Check Out Time is my love letter to love. It is a tribute to those who find it and those who lose it.
