Director Statement

I had a goal to create a powerful story in less than 4 minutes. Typically my films tend to go on for a long time and I struggle with taking out pieces that do not need to be included so this film was a challenge for me. Although I am proud of accomplishing this goal, there were some complications along the way.
This film was the first film where I had someone else film for me. So not being the one to look through the lens and see every shot was very hard for me and I had to rely on someone else. Some shots definitely were not ones I would've set up myself but I still love and appreciate my whole crew! I also had the honor of working with the beautiful and talented Naomi Rosenthal who was only 15 years old! Her performance was outstanding!
Although this was my only my 2nd film, I know I could've done better but in the future I will try this again and exceed my expectations!
