Director Statement

This was the first short film I made at The University of Oklahoma. This film was shot and edited during the Spring 2022 semester, and was officially finished at the end of September 2022. This film was a great learning experience for me, and I am excited to share it with the world. I have slowly been working on a feature length script based on this short, and though it is not finished yet, I think it has potential!
