Director Statement

Our lives were shut down in 2020 and it would have been easy to put this and other projects on hold. However, after a brief camera test in NYC with one of our lead actors, we decided that not only could we shoot during a pandemic, but with a few script modifications, we could make it something special. The team that pitched in to tell this story is stellar and we can't wait for you to see it!
