Director Statement

Every once in a while, you have to make a film for the pure fun (and hard work) of it. One where you're not constrained by a budget (because there isn't one), you don't have to "communicate your vision", (because you're the only crew member), you don't worry about equipment rental fees (you're using your own lenses and Blackmagic Pocket 4K), and you have all the time and money for post-production (because you're the one doing it). And, as a bonus, you get to direct your talented nieces and co-workers.
