Director Statement

‘Sticks and Stones’ was my first time directing with a crew, on a set, and with actual actors (who weren’t just unlucky friends I had managed to convince to help me out…). The idea was ambitious, and a little crazy, with our team also having no prior experience of special effects or makeup or anything of the kind. Our one day shoot was intensive, yet incredibly joyful, and we are all very proud of the final film we have created together.
