Director Statement

While watching this film I wanted viewers to realize that there is innocent people in war. There is no wrong or right side, just a must of survival.

Technically it was a competition group project in college. We where only three of us (me, Tommy and Silvester), and three weeks to find an idea, go out and make a film. We had simple equipment from college and a budget of $150.
