Director Statement

I needed to do a short film for my Uni assignment and I was so frustrated due to COVID-19. We couldn't leave the house, so I decided it to challenge myself and doing an entire short film with Zoom.
As an artist is very important to adapt to any situation.

Why a comedy one?
Because of these hard times, what we need the most are laughs. To keep going with our new "depressing" life.
