Director Statement

As a self-proclaimed manic creative, it's hard for me to maintain enthusiasm for a project long enough to see it all the way through completion. I decided to focus on creating something with my friends, so that we can have fun and work collectively towards a creative goal. It was very important for me to give 100% effort into making it good, so that everyone who contributed to it can look back on it with fond memories and a sense of achievement. We spent countless hours and all-nighters to create something that we find entertaining. We hope you like it too!
