Director Statement

The family and friends closed viewing of this film was used as a charity event to raise money for the Zebra Coalition of Orlando. In total we raised $400, all of which went to the organization.

I am very passionate about the use of art as a means of not only expression but also social change. I would describe myself as “deliberately extreme” when it comes to my methods of creating art and sharing my messages. This film is quite warm and inviting, I feel it invokes thoughtful conversations and a comforting message. If you are caught off guard enough by a piece of literature or artwork to feel strongly about it then I think it has done its job!
