Director Statement

"Late Summer" is my ode to the surreal experience of summer camp. I always had a hard time at summer camp. I was an extremely socially anxious kid and that made it hard to interact with others. At camp I would have intense nightmares about Manitoban historical figures. These memories all bubbled up together into "Late Summer".
