Director Statement

Thank you for your consideration! As a mother and daughter duo, we were inspired to create when there didn't seem to be many quality roles available for young girls. As an actress, quality unique roles are important to develop your craft. We've always been fans of dark comedy, and were loosely inspired by the classic comedies Home Alone and Meet the Parents when writing our film. At our premiere at Z fest this spring, the theater was filled with laughter during our screening. I hope you'll enjoy it as well!
