Director Statement

The goal of the film is to fill a hole in queer cinema and present a relatable piece of film to a sapphic audience, who rarely get to see themselves on the big screen. By telling honest and unbiased queer stories, we can liberate ourselves from a heteronormative framework of cinema.
