Director Statement

It was a pleasure to direct this film alongside visionary filmmaker Lolly Michaels. Lolly’s incredible previous work is what initially drew me to wanting to collaborate on a project together. When she presented the endearing script, I felt it was my duty to help bring it to screen.
I love to tell intimate and authentic stories about love that pull the viewers into the world of the characters and this micro romantic drama does just that.
