Director Statement

As the director of project, I have to oversee the whole thing from beginning to the end. I have never done a project this big before. I have never hired professional actors before. So for me as a new director, this for me was a big challenge for my determination to see the project through the very end. I had to also go through many changes mental and physical during these past months. I had to go out my comfort in order to get this project done. I am so happy that I had the chance and privileged to work with these amazing talented individuals. I will be so happy to work with them in the future.
