Director Statement

Nothing brings a family to together like pregnancy, and nothing tears it apart like jealousy. This the foundation of PRENATAL, two sisters struggling to find the truth and someway to understand eachother, despite being seperated by mountains of beleif and resentment. Prenatal inspired by my friend (and lead actress)'s first pregnancy and the red state / blue state divide. Sara was actually 8 months pregnant when we shot the film!
