Director Statement

When I started shooting this film, I had no intention of editing and producing it as a Senior Seminar final project. This is my first time submitting an edited movie, making music with Garage Band, and sharing my love for classical music with others. This is my first time wondering if this story should've been told. Everything was so organic, the music, the lighting, all the characters involved, even the misguided GPS. I'm really grateful to God for this lovely experience. The beautiful thing is the energy was cheerful with everyone that came to my need. Although the language was foreign, the communication between us was clear. My professor at the University of The Virgin Islands, Dr. Sharon Honore, is a great encourager to tell our stories, no matter how crazy they seem. I hope those who view this film will be entertained. The most challenging part of post-production was the editing. Kudos to editors of cinema and the written word; it is definitely a special calling.
