Director Statement

This film was inspired by Jill's mother, Daphne Tokac, who has experienced the downsides of non-commital psychologists firsthand. As a strong woman and role model in Jill's life, Daphne inspired Jill to write a film script in hopes to convey the message of effective therapy. Jill and Emily also are proud to have made a film by women, about women, and in support of women.
