Director Statement

In the summer of 2018 we met in an artist co-operative consisting of 30 constantly-rotating occupants; a living situation that offers little stability. Against all odds, a friendship has formed that has proven itself time and time again, and has morphed into a complementary working relationship.

Hide and Seek is a story about coming into your own. Sometimes you are thrust into uncomfortable situations and you wish you could retreat into an eternal place of comfort. But by seeking discomfort, by putting yourself in a place of vulnerability, you are able to truly unleash the potential you have inside. We learned this by choosing our fortuitous living situation, and we hope to carry this message with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you for reading, and we hope you enjoy!
