Director Statement

To create Mr. Baggage, I started with the simple parameter of producing a short comedic film. I spent time with the actors and workshopped different concepts over several weeks. Getting to know the actors and observing them interact with each other informed the development of the characters and I wrote the film based around them. It was a fantastic creative process that I thoroughly enjoyed!
