Director Statement

In A World (Where People Have Problems) was a blast to shoot for the Sinema Challenge!

We had a production budget of less than 2 grand, but managed to pull off a huge amount of costumes, locations and cast with that. We are very thankful to everyone who lent us their time and spaces to shoot this project and all the favors done for us to make this film possible, and want to thank the Buried Alive Film Festival for making this possible. We pushed a lot of our technical abilities with this film, and think everyone learned immensely from the project. We are very proud of it, and cannot wait to see it's premiere in November!!
