Director Statement

This is my first real short film project, and I was excited to see it completed! It is a personal subject for me, as I have had alopecia since I was 13 years old. And being new to the craft, this was a challenge to bring together, but I was blessed a great group of people to help me make it happen and a professor that encouraged me to tell this part of my story.
