Director Statement

Inspired by the works of renowned author Tim O’Brien, a recent viewing of Apocalypse Now, and binge watching all six seasons of the series, Lost, I set out to create a new perspective on classic Vietnam War films. I aspired to make a film does not present a clear message. Rather, the film relies on the audience's ability to ponder and question the themes presented, and not be spoon fed a typical shoot-em-up war movie.
