Director Statement

Small Talk is my 3rd directed film and has become my favorite project up to this point in my short film career. When creating new projects, I always like to focus on themes that hit close in my life. We've all had those moments of seeing a friend who we thought we'd never see again, and I wondered what would be the case if we took that to its extreme. I got to work with some amazing filmmakers and incredible actors, and I believe that shows through this film. I hope audiences see the hard work each student and filmmaker put into this project. My crew made this film a reality.
