Director Statement

I wrote and directed this film with my husband, because I have seen real men go through strong emotions such as love and loss, and that is what speaks to me as a creative person. I wanted to tell this story in a way that would take the viewer on this unpredictable journey that is reminiscent of "Hallmark". I edited this film to gain understanding of the whole process, and become a better director. I am so grateful to have a lot of "hand holding" in post, I am forever blessed to have worked on this, and I would not trade this experience for the world.
