Director Statement

My goal as a filmmaker is to create stories that deeply resonate with the human condition, connecting us through shared experiences. Grief is one of the most universal emotions we face, and it often drives us to seek closure at any cost. In 'Closure', I explore the lengths we go to in order to find peace. This film speaks to a collective struggle that I believe will resonate powerfully with many, especially in these times.
