Director Statement

This film really means a lot to us. It allowed us to be able to get back to our creativity after months of lockdown. We made this film during a difficult time for everyone-- we actually had to halt production, with about half the film shot, for several months due to a lockdown. We hope everyone watching can get as much joy out of the film as we had making it.
