Director Statement

Everyone carries something. An invisible burden that weighs us down and prevents us from living the life we might have. Our burdens are so familiar, that we don't often think about what life would be like without them. We just continue to drag them through life. Here's to everyone carrying something—may we have the courage to confront them once and for all.
