Director Statement

With an iPhone XS, my ZOOM and a few years experience watching and assisting the filmmaking process, it was time to apply what I learned. Turns out, I still needed quite a few more hours watching editing tutorials. The challenge of filming outdoors and with a mobile device added difficulty, but I am very happy with how the film turned out.
