Director Statement

After losing my mother in 2016 I wanted to make an honest film about grief. As well as a musical with high quality songs to contrast with the darker dramatic elements of my story.

This film is an amalgamation of all my feature films over the past 10 years with everything I've learnt as a writer and director.
