Director Statement

I wanted to show how we, as a whole self, manifest in many characters, with many aspects and personas. This film helps illustrate some of those ideas. I loved making this film here in the greater Bellingham area. We are blessed with such diverse settings. I hope the film prompts some exploration and acceptance into the viewers diversity within.
