Director Statement

This was my first short film. It was for a contest that required a 3 minute short using a clock/watch as a central object, and it was required to be inspiring. This was made with no budget and very little crew, and I'm so grateful for the talented actors I was able to work with. I'm currently in pre-production on my next short film, which will be a WW2 piece! Stay tuned!
