Director Statement

Vestige was my senior thesis film at Lee University, drawing from my strongest creative influences and collaborating with many talented creatives from the Tennessee and Georgia film communities. Vestige's story is one about family. Specifically, learning to love family despite their worst mistakes. This has always been something that has stuck with me for many years, and I felt that this film was my way of expressing my own personal struggles. This film is my letter to those like me who wrestle with family connection, hardship, and forgiveness.
