Director Statement

This experimental film is essentially 28 years in the making--culminating into my thesis film that I worked tirelessly to produce. Join me on this journey as I push beyond the boundaries of documentary with this film as we explore the creation of cultures/community, muse on places and impermanence, and unravel the life story of my family's table through the eyes of strangers.
