Director Statement

"Tangerine Cigarettes has been one of the most unique and rewarding film experiences I have ever had. We had a wonderful crew backing us up every step of the way." - Henry Graybeal

"This time being my first time ever co-directing a film, I really just wanted to bring a fun atmosphere to the set and help execute the vision as best I could alongside Henry. The script is very heartwarming and I guess my ultimate goal was to make this set feel the same way the characters feel in the film!" - Ridger Palma
