Director Statement

"Dry" is the first film I've made in seven years. During this hiatus, I overcame alcoholism and finally re-evaluated not only myself, but the stories I want to tell and how to best tell them through the medium of film.

This is the result - a small window into my own fears and struggles with addiction. Though inspired by personal experiences, I hope this story and its themes are universal, immediate, and thusly all the more disturbing.
