Director Statement

This story was born from my own struggles as a father, looking for the love of my child.
All families, whether broken up or not, go through times of miscommunication and dealing with those issues sometimes feels like an endless uphill climb for everyone.
We all look for love since our birth and when this bond between generations is broken or communication interrupted, we're left with scars that we might carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Sometimes, these situations make us react poorly, parents and children taking turns at lashing out like teenagers and hurting our loved ones without proper regard for consequences.
