Director Statement

This is a film about how a common enemy can bring friends closer and turn a drunken night into a story for the history books. What drew me to this project was the way the script approaches current problems of our generation. The question of integrity and choice is becoming increasingly highlighted as our digital behavior is demanding more proactive action from individuals. This story manages to capture a serious subject in a humorous way. With laughter, the film entices the audience to start asking questions of responsibility and liability.

This story centers around a fierce sort of friendship. A friendship characterized by an unrestrained protectiveness over one another. An unapologetic force that propels the story forward and drives it to unexpected places.

Created truly as an ensemble piece, the collaborative nature of this project has been honoured by letting me as the director in early on in the process, and the writers staying involved throughout post-production. By acting out their own script as well as providing input in the final touches, the conversations around our story has never stopped.

This film is distinguished by being written by two actors, as is noticeable in the high-paced and elaborate dialog. It has been my mission to highlight and complement this with my own artistic vision, by letting the dramaturgy of the story really guide the process and the shape of the film.
