Director Statement

I have loved often in my life. And when love ended, the evidence remained, memories and mementos stowed away in boxes and drawers. I would encounter those fragments sometimes and wonder, “What do they remember?” Why not ask?
Through the account of those I've loved, I will attempt to retrace my personal history.
Memory lapses and the rekindling of old flames are to be expected. I’ll take my chances.
