Director Statement

ON HIS KNEES is a play-like conversation between two young partners exploring their sexuality. With queerness becoming less taboo, it was exciting to imagine how a curious couple would discuss their evolution and the growing pains they may experience.

A true microbudget, this piece was shot for under $50.00, the only expenses being prop food and beer. All the equipment was borrowed from our production team. I did a majority of the editing on my 2015 macbook. It is also my directorial debut.
