Director Statement

High Note is my first time directing a film in a professional environment. I have been obsessed with films my entire life but I was 14 when I decided I wanted to be a director. Making this film with my amazing crew has been one of the most wonderful (and stressful) experiences of my life and I’m very proud of what we managed to achieve, especially when under strict COVID safety procedures. I hope you enjoyed our short film as much as we did making it.
