Director Statement

I wrote this film at the height of the pandemic and like a lot of people I was able to process a lot of my emotions through art and writing. Although the story is post apocalyptic it was very grounding to work on. It's a story I think we can all relate to of trying your hardest to do everything 'right' while the circumstances around you are so out of your control.
