Director Statement

This was a real story brought to life via the art of animation. Through live-action video and cartoon sequences it's possible to see my experiences through my eyes. Stepping into my shoes, if you will. It also severs this experience from me through the anonymizing nature of animated documentary, and because of that likely relates to many of you with similar experiences.

For me, the decision was clear. It was time to get some needed help, rely on a furry friend, and finally apply to get a service dog.
