Director Statement

This is a comedic horror film examining the way perception and obsession feeds into our own self worth and identity. Characters in the film are so concerned with being "perfect" that they create false versions of themselves in hopes of attaining love and admiration. Can anyone truly be perfect? What does it mean to be perfect?

In the age of "content creators" creating idyllic versions of themselves to broadcast to eager and insecure fans, it's easy to lose your own self worth and question what makes you unique. Our film satirizes this notion of all-knowing content creators and their fans who put them on an impossible pedestal.
