Director Statement

To me, "Forever And Ever" is primarily about the things that shouldn't still scare us, but do. It plays out like a nightmare from your childhood, and channels the fear of the dark, the monster in your bedroom and being completely alone into an emotionally driven story of a teddy bear's harrowing journey to find its owner. Filming "Forever And Ever" was definitely challenging: from wandering the woods alone late at night, to trying to get a teddy bear to swim, I really put myself outside my comfort zone. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the most exciting things I've done in my creative journey so far.
