Director Statement

I wrote this after hearing the struggles some parents/carers go through just to get their children to eat vegetables. I wondered how this struggle would play out if the power were placed in the hands of the child, leaving the parents helpless and vulnerable.

I had great fun directing this, a child with more power than their parents can be comical and even with the upper hand, the demands are sized to what is important to a child.
