Director Statement

This short film was shot and edited during the Fall 2022 school semester at the University of Oklahoma. This was an incredibly fun project to work on, and I made a lot of great friends through this project. The project is not fully finished yet due to some finishing that needs to be done on sound design and VFX, but regardless, I hope that you enjoy this film and recognize the amount of effort put in by everyone that worked on it!
