Director Statement

I wrote this film much before I produced it. And as that time passed between inception and projection, I began to appreciate a connection between my personal experiences and the events of the script, weaving them together to create the final film you see here. So really, this film couldn't be more rooted in my own experience - truly one of feminine and traumatic power.
