Director Statement

I grew up making films with my siblings when we were kids; goofy, silly movies that were simple stories that we would shoot and edit all in one day. We loved folk lore and literature and specifically just storytelling. I was out running errands one day and I started to see this story unfold of a girl trying everything she could not to go back home. And before I knew it I had this idea for a short film. I asked two of my good friends if they were free to make a movie and in one whole day we made this. It was hectic and fun and we just got to be creative. It was my first time directing (I have always been an actress first) and holding the reigns. But I truly could not have done it without my friends. For one Saturday I felt like I was a kid again with my siblings.
