Director Statement

While working as Program Coordinator for Sacred Heart University's film school, I had the amazing opportunity to act as a Teacher's Assistant for Roger S.H. Schulman ('Shrek', 'Balto', 'Alf'). The 'Psychotherapy' script was originally written by one of his students in that class. In an effort to continue collaboration between faculty, students, and Alumni, I approached the writer to see if he'd be interested in a collaboration. This short film is a collaborative work of love between many generations of filmmakers, and a tradition I plan to continue.
