Director Statement

Nick Adams, the writer of Jamie, and I love to explore subjectivity and memory. We made this film as a companion piece to another short film, "Giselle," which shows Jamie's side of the breakup. We love the idea of viewers gravitating towards whichever film mirrors their emotional state more, but being able to see "the other side" can be a potentially gratifying and empathetic experience.
