Director Statement

In 2017, I woke up from a terrible nightmare. It was a suffocating, humid night, and I still remember the horrible feeling of drenched bed sheets clinging to my skin.

In a daze, I instinctively reached for my computer and began writing. Without ever stopping to think about what I was doing, I wrote the script for what eventually became this short film. I think it is an encapsulation of many emotions I was drowning in at the time. I still don't remember what exactly I was dreaming about.
