Director Statement

This film started as a sort of internal dialog, I was imagining speaking to a very close friend as she recounted the yearning to change her past. The message I want to deliver with this film - especially to women- is that you have the right to decide, that even though you can’t change your past you always carry the option to change your future. Anyone who watches this film will walk away with a different perception of what they believe happened.
