Director Statement

‘After Indigo, In The Bittersweet was an incredibly cathartic experience for me. I’d never been so moved by my own writing than I was when I wrote an initial rough draft, and from that day on I knew I had to pursue it. Every single person involved in bringing the project to life has been a dream to work with, and I’m excited to see where it goes!’
