Director Statement

Mathias and I wanted to give us and the team a technical challenge with this film, and we planned several difficult long takes. The topic of the film is inspired by a song by the rapper NF, which we both thought we could relate to. The film had a next to zero budget and relied heavily on the good cast and crew that worked on it, and we are extremely happy about the way it turned out. - Andreas Hentze Madsen
