Director Statement

"So Over It" at its core is about a young man struggling to cope with his emotions during a difficult period in his life.

Boys and men often move through the world without the tools to connect with their peers at a deeper level, maintain a healthy self-esteem, or healthily deal with emotional turmoil. After seeing many of my close friends grapple with these issues themselves, mostly with little resolve, I felt it was pertinent to address the emotional stifling that young men experience. My goal was to create a film that brings attention to the negative effects of this phenomenon but is still fun, cinematic, and enjoyable to watch.
