Director Statement

The cast and crew consisted of my family and some of my closest friends. This finished film represents the culmination of a year of planning and hard work, but mostly we just had a blast in the middle-of-nowhere, being creative and goofy together for four days. I'm so thrilled with how much fun and production value our crew was able to squeeze out of a really gorgeous but unforgiving landscape and a tiny budget. Special thanks to Andy Kuepper and Trevor Elliott (San Diego Film Equipment) for making this movie possible.
