Director Statement

Red, White and Blue has been a labor of love for everyone involved in making this film. It's a story that I felt compelled to sit down and write entirely in the space of one morning in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade and the real world consequences on individuals whose reproductive rights have been affected.

This is my first foray into directing. I chose this film as my directorial debut because I knew precisely how I wanted to tell this tale both on the page and visually. I knew this story needed to be handled with the utmost care, subtlety and sensitivity. It was important for me to land the nuance and different layers of every single beat in order to serve the story and the characters who go on both an emotional and physical journey. It became personally important to me to use my voice as a storyteller to tell a very human story that's grounded in reality and seeks to empower the unseen and unheard voices in our communities who are often unable to speak for themselves.

I am incredibly grateful to an incredible cast that includes Brittany Snow and Juliet Donenfeld who gave it their all as well our phenomenal crew who went above and beyond to tell this story with me because they all believed in this film.

There are deeply important as well as personal touches to this film all along the way. It's a film that features women's voices only except for the one unadulterated voice of a young boy who is yet to become a man and whose innocence, as a result, is preserved. The song that is featured prominently in the film was sung by my daughters, Iman and Alyssa, who were the first to know about this film and the first to read my script. They encouraged me to make this film -- even if it meant making personal sacrifices all along the way -- because they believe with all their heart that this is a story that needed to be told.
