Director Statement

The film industry has had changed a lot in the last year, and we've all had to adjust to the current circumstances, whether you're an actor, a producer, or even a grip.

Because of this quite unanimous set of experiences we all share, I think anyone who works in, or even outside of the industry can relate to the story of two actors, who love their industry, and will do anything to reclaim the passion they once had for their jobs.

One of the harsh realities of being a working actor, is that only about 2% of working actors are able to do what they love full time and live a stable life, whereas the other 98% struggle under the weight of competition, which can place an unbearable weight on one's passion for the art.
