Director Statement

I wandered through a lot of part-time jobs when I was younger, and I eventually got really good at doing interviews. It's a unique skill that requires you to sell yourself as a product that companies can buy - and that means you have to market yourself like a product. That's a really weird feeling when you're young and you don't even know what kind of person you are yet, let alone what kind of person you're selling on your resume. I made this film to try and understand that feeling.
