Director Statement

Co-creating this collaborative film has been a joy. Over months or even years of weekly meetings, this incredible group of young creatives formed deep connections while honing key skills in animation, filmmaking, scriptwriting, drawing, painting, and editing through lessons and mentorship.

However, the true magic happened when the group embraced deep listening—allowing their shared narratives to gently unfold. Together, we sat with the pain of feeling isolated or different—the challenges of being queer and neurodivergent in a world not built for us.

Through Clover’s story, the group explored pathways to connection that resonated with their own journeys. Clover’s narrative became a therapeutic tool for expression, but more importantly, it allowed the group to co-dream of ways out of the darkness—and how to seek them.
