Director Statement

Wallet was inspired by a true event. I was at a concert with my brothers and we were having a great time! Then during the last song of the concert. I became consumed with excitement and decided to crowd surf. It was a beautiful moment being carried by the crowd as I sang along with great joy! Then when I was eventually set down to the ground reality hit. My wallet was not in my pocket. I would then go down a spiral of events attempting to try and find my wallet in a crowded concert hall with no success. However, thankfully I worker there would contact me the next day and return my wallet back which brought me great relief to say the least. The whole ordeal would go on to inspire me to write this film. In its creation I wanted to express the thoughts that were running through my mind during that loss. Which helped me cope and made me realize how fragile life and we really are. Ultimately, the greatest gift this introspection taught me was to cherish your loved ones because life is fleeting.
