Director Statement

Ethics are tricky when it comes to working for an outcome that you've desired for so long. While the obvious choice is to obey your conscience, the more desirable choice is to have your way. I wanted to write a story about someone who wants something so badly, that in the end, you can't be certain that he'll make the right choice.
