Director Statement

Since I am pregnant with my first baby while doing my Ph.D. in advocacy media, I wonder what should I tell him about where do babies come from. My husband and I have always wanted to tell the truth to our children, depending on the child's developmental stage. This is when we stumbled into weird sex education videos and footage of awkward parents who try to explain what sex is to their children. Compiling them into this short film, I realize why sex is such a hard subject to talk about, especially with your own children.
