Director Statement

I had this idea of an outcast who is so lonely that she works out that she can get invited into others homes if she buys the stuff they're selling on Online classifieds. For the duration of the transaction, Sandra would get to belong inside the seller's world. And as a way to hold onto that belonging, a belonging clearly lacking in Sandra's life, she would steal their memento's. Until
she meets Alan who confronts her idea of what it means to belong.
