Director Statement

The decision to make this short came as a surprise to many, as the planning/ pre-production process did not start until less than a week prior to the proposed release date. In a fraction of the time a film like this would usually take, our three person production team was able to create a suspenseful and beautifully shot end product, that we are sincerely proud of.
Ryan and Zack Denny worked tirelessly to design and create incredible props and costumes for the film, while I focused solely on the cinematography and execution of the film itself. All three of us work full time jobs as well, so the total time we had to work on this project from pre to post-production was about 4 days.
The initial concept comes from Executive Producer (and The Smuggler) Ryan Denny. After extensive conversations with Ryan and his brother Zack Denny (Executive Producer and The Mandalorian), we were able to collaborate and devise a story that we are passionate about and excited to create. We hope to continue this story, and bring our own little corner of the Star Wars universe to life.
