Director Statement

Growing up, watching comedy films and series has helped me understand and love myself; accepting how weird and quirky I am. I've also adapted to write comedic skits and shorts from watching them. Writing comedy scripts somehow comes to me smoothly but not to expect that I'd be focusing on family themes. As a challenge for me as a filmmaker, I want to feature the least represented type of families. I desire to make sure my film is for all despite the amusing lie the parents share. And I hope it will gain representation for children who grew up in a broken family as a mended therapy for them.
