Director Statement

This project is a collaboration with a dear friend, Adam Nilson. He served in the armed forces in Afghanistan and has dealt with myriad physical, psychological, and emotional issues since returning home. Through this pain, he discovered photography which led to the creation of this short film. Adam and I co-wrote Residue as a tribute to the many service members who are lost even after they return home.
