Director Statement

What makes this action film special are the action scenes, in which leading actor Ethan Averton is running on the streets. For these scenes I filmed from a driving car while I was sitting in the passenger seat or in the trunk, directing both the actor and the driver at the same time. Apart from that, the filming locations were extremely inspiring: the streets and beach of Los Angeles, California.
