Director Statement

This film was an absolute blast to make. As a first time filmmaker, I wanted to have a great showing to start my career. Originally created for a 3x5 competition, we shot and edited the final product in 48 hrs. My lovely crew came together to help me take it to heights that I could have never done on my own. Everyone involved was so talented and the fact we were recognized with "Best of Competition" and "Best Director" at our initial competition the film was created for, makes all of us so proud of the work we have put forth. We are excited to share it with you all!
Hope you enjoy!
