Director Biography

Director Statement

"‘The Way We Say Goodbye’ is a response to something I’ve consistently identified as lacking in media throughout my journey as a creative: representation, in a way that feels real, authentic, and human. Not there to tick an arbitrary box, or to allow for a lack of character depth based on one trope-ish trait they exhibit."
