Director Statement

When I moved to a new city in 2016, I didn’t know many people. Freshly single, I turned to dating apps. Over time, I could see the rhythms and patterns me and my dates would fall into. I probably went on 100+ dates, dined at every restaurant in the city and never really met a match.
