Director Statement

This was created when I felt stuck as an artist, creating projects I felt too comfortable with. There was no challenge, which was difficult for me. I was sick of structure. I was sick of tradition. I was sick of limiting myself. I just wanted to create and not worry about making the most complex, mind-blowing film ever, which inevitably became the challenge I'd been craving.

Noah and Amir's story is simply about a silent connection. A connection that doesn't need to be explicitly articulated but felt. What does it feel like when you experience that for the first time? Mysterious, confusing, stressful (because you're not able to say the things you truly want to say), but also calming. I wanted to incorporate that tone throughout, compelling the audience to feel relatively the same as our main characters did.

This project brought back my love for art and storytelling in a way I didn't think was possible. I am so excited (and nervous) to share this with an audience. Thank you for taking the time to step into Noah's world. Much love.
