Director Statement

Most people spend their lives chasing status, wealth, or recognition. Always reaching for something just out of frame. What’s Left is a meditation on what remains when all of that fades. It’s a reminder that the most valuable thing we have is human connection.

This film is deeply personal to me. It comes from my own reflections on how fleeting life can be, and how easily we overlook what truly matters.
