Director Statement

My studio truly gets to create original short films, made to showcase the actors in class. What I loved about this group is their diversity, Black, Brazilian, Navajo, Italian, and Eastern European people are all represented in this story and that alone paints a fascinating picture for me, as a film maker. I rarely use race overtly in a story, in this case it happened by default as cultures collide, adding to the tension of the story. I hope this film is a unique experience for this reason.
