Director Statement

Written during the pandemic, a time of loneliness and isolation, a search for belonging, a journey of finding ‘home’. A poetic reflection of who I am, where I come from, and where I will go.

Dedicated to the matriarchal figures in my life. All powerful women that have transcended tradition, epitomized resilience, strength and family. This film offers you all the basic necessities needed to always carry ‘home’ with you.
