Director Statement

Inspired by an experience I had in the ethereal space of a salt spa, I created this piece to explore the struggles families face in their efforts to understand and hopefully accept one another. The cast and crew of my directorial debut are predominantly women, with female leads and heads of departments. Working with such talented women was such a fulfilling experience, and I am incredibly grateful to all the individuals who helped create Salty.
