Director Statement

In this film, I wanted to explore the dynamic between younger and older generations in a comedic, yet relevant way.
Often, younger and older generations don't tend to see eye to eye, but the reality is that we all have a lot to learn from each other.
The film also speaks to the idea that life is something out of our control - we never know what we might have to face each day, and the best we can do is, like Mrs. Percy, no matter what comes for us, keep our heads high, stay calm, and you just might come out on top!
