Director Statement

In the spring of 2021, I wrote the script for Duck Rabbit. Much like the character Calliope, I felt compelled to express myself, but I also wasn't sure if I had anything to say. It was in the making of this film that it has taken on a life, and a meaning, of its own.
What began as a series of interconnected jokes and vignettes written by a guy who missed his friends and missed being outside, became a citywide quest to create an epically small movie by going outside with friends. Made with shoestrings, bubblegum, elbow grease, and small donations, we were able to feature dozens of talented artists from around town and showcase the beauty of our own backyard.
A story about small characters with small objectives became something bigger and more personal than I ever could have expected, for myself, for the people involved, and hopefully for the audience as well. I would like to thank you for taking the time and invite you to enjoy this crazy little story we’ve told.
