Director Statement

When I started teaching acting in various schools one thing was clear: that there are many talents out there who never see the spotlight. Through my projects I always try to promote, with the limited means I got, new artists or artists that don't get the chance very often to explore and show their artistic skills.
The cast, including our DP, in this short, were all 20 years of age and under with our youngest not even 15. I couldn't be more proud for these kids.
I always had the highest respect for independent film, because there are a lot of gems in independent production, and I hope that our projects contribute, in their own way.
