Director Statement

I believe that one of the ways to master life itself, we have to balance and acquire our; assertiveness, submissiveness and wisdom. Each character in the film is built purposely to be too much of one of those things. I want to show people what risks and situations that can escalate to if we do not have emotional awareness.
