Director Statement

My concept for "Late Night Swim" is both personal and imaginative. I believe it is something we can all relate to. It's about our inability to accept the love around us ... the struggle to be present as we imagine better lives through our phones ...and having the courage to live fully in our choices.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our story.
