Director Statement

I have made this 2-part film about the impact of a major breakup to reveal the real personal changes someone who experiences true love goes through. Falling in love is easy, but staying in love is harder. The public will see the crazy states love brings people to in my characters, thus normalizing the pain and struggles of making a relationship work. Ultimately, as a hopeless romantic and as a creative director, I am hoping my film will encourage viewers to have more hope and patience in love.
