Director Statement

A lot of good people put a lot of hard work into this. Lots of new friends were made during the common struggles of filmmaking, which created the chance to have beautiful first time performances. I truly believe this film is different than many first short films people make. Rather than shoot with the fear of movement with the camera, we embraced it.
