Director Statement

Hello.
My purpose for returning to NEFL is to connect with Someone who may be able to Shepard my film through distribution.
Best case scenario.
Worst case scenario, I'd like to connect with an Audio engineer who can edit the film's sound.

I have had a few conversations with distributors and streamers regarding the film and I have yet to meet a group or organization more verifiable than the NEFL.
This film was a massive undertaking, and at this point I want to do what's right for the Cast, the film, and everyone else involved with the movie.

This film started as a short.
I began writing, and the story just kept growing, so I kept writing.
The stars aligned, we got a little money, and we shot the movie.
That was Summer 2021.
I've been working on the film ever since, nearly everyday.
