Director Statement

I directed this film because I wanted to the best job I could portraying pain, and how it can twist and warp the reality of a human. My goal was to tell an unpredictable story, that affects the viewer. In this journey I learned that I am a fan of flashbacks, and that giving actors a bit more on camera time pays out in dividends that are immeasurable.
