Director Statement

This short film is different from previous projects since I wanted to write something very loose and allow the film to grow on its own. I love exploring themes of past/present/future self, memories and soul searching/discovery. I think this short film helped get my foot in the door as an artist, showcasing and expressing a sense of timelessness through this story and visuals.
