Director Statement

‘After Indigo, In The Bittersweet was an incredibly cathartic experience for me. I’d never been properly moved by my own writing, but right from the initial initial rough draft, 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!”
