Director Statement

We filmed this completely in our hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and it was a blast to make. I wrote it specifically for the locations and people I have in my life. Three of the five cast are non-actors and are very close friends or family of mine. I figured with a smaller budget and crew we would have a better chance of telling a compelling story by playing to our strengths and writing with ready resources/locations in mind. The short is ultimately a drama about grief with a Sci-Fi backdrop that addresses even larger questions that hopefully we can all relate to. I hope someone can find something to take away from it.
Thanks for watching.
