Director Statement

When going into a project like the 48 hour, you learn to really embrace the unknown. As a director who loves to prepare as much as possible, I got a chance to really break out of my comfort zone and focus less on over preparing material and more on creating a space for collaboration and learning how to work on a film set where there is no authorship. All I knew is no matter what we'd made, the goal was to not play it safe, not get glued to any single direction, and always be having everyone looking for opportunities to make this film better. And through that mindset along with the incredible ensemble of creatives that I was fortunate to work with in this film, Temporia came to be.
