Director Statement

"I really enjoy the endless possibilities of visual storytelling you can do in a post apocalyptic setting. Once society crumbles, nature starts to reclaim the landscape, and those left fight to survive, there is so much you can do, so much you can tell. The Girl from the Ground is just one of these stories." - Ryan C Scott

"Post-apocalyptic stories always offer a chance to stories that really delve into humanity. We're so used to all the luxuries we have in life, all the advancements we've made: take all that away, and you're left with humanity in its most primitive form. There's so much potential there when it comes to how people adapt, how they survive, and how that changes them. I think we'd all like to believe that we could keep hold of ourselves and our morals, but when morals stand between you and survival, we see what people are truly capable of." - Kevin Pullias
