Director Statement

This film was particularly meaningful because I acted alongside my mom, who had previously been an actor in the theater. It has always been a dream of mine to work with my mom and this project that explored my own anxieties around my parent aging, her grief around her mother passing and the intergenerational possibility of healing felt like the perfect opportunity.
