Director Statement

This film is the culmination of a year and a half of research, writing, storyboarding, re-writing, drawing, soldering, casting, blu-tacking, crashing, and editing; finally, it has cracked open the womb to stare out at this world. It is about the imaginative potential of animation. It is not a horror movie. It is the catastrophe of a sneeze. It is a diary entry to a smaller self. It is gooey.

Love,
Ning Xuan, Audrey & Meghan
