Director Statement

The goal of this film was to explore the prompt ‘nostalgia’ in a collective memory we all have perspectives on, the COVID pandemic. With each time jump we are able to look back on different eras of the pandemic and how perhaps naive we were. It will be interesting to look back on this film in a few years as we really don’t know what’s coming.
