Director Statement

When I was approached by the writer and producer of the film, Phil McCarron, I felt connected to the script right away. I’m sure that almost everyone has experienced a traumatic breakdown in a relationship, which is why many viewers will be able to recognize a piece of themselves in this film. The writer and I had the same vision from the beginning, about how we wanted to bring this story to life, and we had to work very fast knowing that I was leaving Chicago to return to Europe.

It was a wonderful experience to work with such an amazing and talented crew who really dug deep to pull off some beautiful shots. And it was such a pleasure to work with a truly magnificent actress who gave me all of her trust from start to finish.

We are very proud of this film and I hope you will enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Merci

Igor Lewicki
