Director Statement

A claims issue is overlooked in a narrative arc, especially on the point of view of the ones rendering their services who works tirelessly for us, to no complaints. And yet we sometimes fail and don't keep our word in giving what is due to them because of the intent of getting away with accountability. I hope through our short film, that our message can come across to our audience which is to keep our promises to those who have offered their help towards us.
