Director Statement

After moving to Los Angeles, often nicknamed ‘the lonely city,’ I had a lot of time to myself and the themes of loneliness and isolation were all to real for me. ‘I’ll Be Here’ is a post-apocalyptic story with a different approach than many. Most films in this genre address what wild crazy things you could get into or the horrors of ‘what might be out there,’ but I took a side-step to these revolving around my personal struggles at the time. What if, as the world was ending, you kept up with your daily routine? You must be doing something right if you’re still alive. Could you defeat loneliness by sticking to routine and structure and how long before routine isn’t enough and it’s superseded by the human desire for connection?
