Director Statement

This is one of my favourite films so far. I had to choose between a stammerer and a very vocal confident person for the main character. As a documentary filmmaker, I have always looked for strong confident characters to lead the narrative, but this time around, I settled for the one that stutters and it really turned out great. I love it
