Director Statement

FROG-MAN V is a coming-of-age comedy about fear. Using quirky humor, it pays homage to kitsch horror and 90s nostalgia while exploring adolescent fears of the unknown. A recurring theme in my work is the exploration of formative childhood experiences and how they continue to influence the way we navigate through the world today.
