Director Statement

Many years ago I had the joy of working alongside legendary playwrights Edward Albee and Charles Mee. Both men became artistic mentors to me and I've always aimed to infuse my filmmaking with their theatrical outlook and artistic surrealism. Absurdist and sometimes messy art can often invite a more complex understanding of what it means to be human. This short film is an exercise in that messy & absurdist method to explore a universal story of love and loss.
