Director Statement

The film DAMMIT was born from the combination of an idea for an opening scene and a desire to tell a story about the transition into true adulthood. Finishing university, starting a professional career, entering serious relationships, and longing for the carefree days of the past — these are shared experiences for people in their mid-20s. During the difficult moments of that period in my own life, I often found myself singing the chorus of Blink-182’s song Dammit: “Well, I guess this is growing up” — and that’s where the title comes from. I firmly believe that the most meaningful things are best communicated with a touch of humor, which is reflected in the tone of the film.
