Director Statement

When we began filming, the weather then became an issue because the sun’s light would block out many of our shots and had to wait for clouds to block the sun for as long as possible. If that couldn’t be any more difficult, the wind than became an issue, and we couldn’t hear any of the actors dialogue. When we realized we could not record our audio on set, we decided to make the movie silent and relay visuals to tell the story.
